A native Kiwi, I was partially brought up in West Africa then returned to New Zealand. I am completing a Masters in Geology focussing on fossil penguins. I love the Biological and Earth Sciences - especially getting to experience these first hand in the field.

I love meeting people; I'm a friendly, caring person who would love to hang out and have a laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At this stage I don't have a place of my own to freely offer out ot people, however I am at the stage of my life where I am out and about in the world with little cash in my pocket - so why not couch surf and save a penny or two whilst getting to meet awesome people such as yourself?!

Music, Movies, and Books

I may need to give this serious expansion at some point.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been a summer tour guide/lecturer in the subantarctics islands half way to Antarctica from NZ on and off over the past few years - with ecotourism company Heritage Expeditions. Some of the most pristine places on earth, teeming with wildlife and natural beauty. Wild, rough and adventurous - just the ticket!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about everything (being of a scientific nature) and love imparting information to others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge on all things earth science, good conversation, laughs and a general good time. I could cook breakfasts?!
