CURRENT MISSION

To graduate from my nursing degree without losing my sanity (or at least, not all of it).

ABOUT ME

I live 15min out of Whangarei, with my partner Regan, our 3 kids, a cat, my little sister, and my other little sister & her son, and on the weekends, her partner too.
I have rusting violin skills since learning it throughout my childhood, and have begun teaching myself the guitar (for the umpteenth time but it seems to be working this time!)

I love people, and learning new things. I'm a bit of a fledgling foodie (my partner is a chef! We eat SO well), and enjoy the simpler things in life.
I am a creature of chaos by nature, as my eclectic (read: messy!) house shows.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to make a difference in others' lives. I want to be able to touch each person I meet in a meaningful way, and enrich their life (even just the littlest bit) by doing so.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My mother brought home stray backpackers and hitch hikers throughout my childhood, and I really enjoyed the variation and new interestingness that they brought into our home, so I'm carrying on the tradition. Plus, I know what it's like to not have a roof of my own, and to rely on the generosity of strangers for somewhere warm to sleep, and something to eat.

兴趣

Learning anything new! I enjoy a wide range of activities, and follow my curiosity into anything it draws me to.

• cats
• folklore
• guitar
• violin
• nursing

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

A landslide fell on my bedroom sleepout and squashed it sideways, less than 5 minutes after I got out of it.

Plus I've been bungy jumping - fan-flipping-tastic!

教，学，和分享

Love is a decision, and happiness is a state of mind.
You can be happy in a desolate prison, or on a warm couch in the caribbean. You can also be very unhappy on that warm couch, so know: the truth of it all lies inside you.
