About Me

Me and my partner Nate are both travelling teachers who are looking for like-minded souls to share happy times with.

We come as a pair (we got engaged in Hobbiton, NZ in July 2016!) and pretty similar in character, temperament and interests.

People describe us as bohemian, arty and happy (they're the words I hear most often, anyway). If you fancy a little bit of randomness and sunshine paying you a visit, get in touch and we'll come and keep you entertained :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This site is about sharing and it's this concept we love most about couchsurfing. By opening yourself up to people and looking at the world through other's eyes, there is more potential to learn and grow.

Interests

Nate and me are both free-spirited souls with a real love of nature and animals, so one of our biggest loves is to head out into the natural environment and find wildlife. We also love cooking and sharing our culinary interests with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

We both love sci-fi, fantasy, action and thrillers, and musically our tastes are eclectic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've done so many amazing things since we started living out of a backpack while travelling all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

As English language teachers, this is our mantra.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We're fairly well-travelled and can offer lots of tips and advice about places to go, as well as hook people up with others overseas.

We love cooking and like to introduce people to dairy-free, meat-free food.

We're both artists and can share our creative skills.

We can teach English too!
