About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore New Zealand!

ABOUT ME

I feel like good things will come my way. I'm a very creative person and love the arts.

I'm a bit quirky and always smiling (as my mouth doesn't close naturally) and am known to show every single one of my teeth when I do so. I strive for thrilling experiences and do things that are a bit out of the norm. I'm very adaptable to my surroundings, so if you're nice and helpful to me, I can't help but to do the same. I love a variety of activities- from water sports and adventure activities to drinking a good beer with a few friends to snuggling under a blanket with a good book. I love to learn anything about everything. I'm fun loving with a good natured heart and have been told I'm one of the most laid back people you'll come across. I'm easy to please- just a hot steamy cup of coffee will often make my day.

PHILOSOPHY

If something goes wrong- meh.. what can ya do? No point in fretting over things you can't change. Take a look at it, smile, and move on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel to some couches and meet some fantastic people. I'd offer a couch once I have a steady place to live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just met some people in the Auckland meeting at the bar and had a blast! Everyone is so nice there, and ended up going on a day trip with a few I met! Now have been on 2 couches- polar opposites- but have adored both experiences and want some more under my belt!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you lend a couch I'm more than happy to do a complimentary photo session :) No matter what, I'll probably be snapping away all day anyway. I'm also great listener and love to help out in any ways that I can. I'm a music connoisseur and have a fantastic variety of music. Want to accompany anyone that wants company doing some thrilling and adventurous things or sitting around drinking a nice, delicious beer. I wish I could offer cooking but the most I know how to cook is pasta.
