About Me

CURRENT MISSION:

Forge a career in opera. See the world. Live a fulfilling life.

ABOUT ME

Originally from New Zealand, I headed to the other side of the world in 2017 to figure out my life. Lived in Paris for two years, currently in London, and yet to discover what's next!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

New friends and new connections, affordable travel, experiences and recommendations I wouldn't get from a typical tourist trip!

Interests

I love visiting museums, monuments, and all the historic stuff, going to concerts/shows/getting my music geek on, chatting over food or coffee, and just exploring!

I love languages. I enjoy helping people learn English, and I won't laugh at mistakes unless they are really hilarious ones!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Classical music and opera; lots of other genres!

Movies:
I'm not really a movie buff, but when I do feel like a film, I like dramas, historic dramas, comedies, and sometimes animated films.

Books:
I love to read when I have the time. I like classic novels, mysteries, some true stories and biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a second-generation ChildFund sponsor - my parents' sponsor child grew up, and I now sponsor his first-born daughter. I got to meet her and her family, plus see a whole lot of other work that is being done through ChildFund in Kenya.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share what I know, and to learn from others. I love the arts, culture, and languages. If you get me started on a topic, I will happily chat about it for hours!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge and experiences, tips for travel to the places I have been, info about music and childcare, pitching in with shared meals etc (I can cook, but I'm not a top chef and when travelling I like to experience what's on offer!), my friendship

Countries I’ve Visited
