Responsible, kind and respectful solo traveller in New Zealand on a budget. Grew up in Kingston, Ontario Canada and recently finished a degree in Environmental Studies at Queen's University. I plant trees in British Columbia during the summer and have a passion for the outdoors. Always looking to learn new things and have meaningful conversations. I am tidy and will respect your space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to get a meaningful and unique experience meeting local residents of New Zealand and am hoping to make more connections throughout the South Island. Always looking to learn from others and am willing to help out in any way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy music from all different genres but am specifically interested in soul music & rhythm in blues right now. Artists such as Daniel Caesar, SZA and Kendrick Lamar are on my most listened to playlist currently. Appreciate hip hop, alternative, and recently developed a strong interest in outlaw country and music from the works of Johnny Cash and Chris Stapleton.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived off the grid in Northern British Columbia in a tent for 4 months while doing contract work planting trees for 10 hours a day. Very unique and challenging experience that allowed me to appreciate the simple things in life and learn from others. Developed a better understanding of patience and trust in myself.
