CURRENT MISSION

Clear the mind by world exploration!!!

ABOUT ME

I love exploration, although the more I explore the more I come to value that which I have, New Zealand. The world and different cultures intrigue me...and I greedily wish to be able to live in many of the places I visit but then also home calls me back. I am interested in art, social justice, the environment, people, culture, running etc. I hope I will never stop learning so long as there is air in my lungs and I believe there is something to be learnt from every single person.

PHILOSOPHY

I think community is really important and education... I think humanity is on the edge of a precipice and I really hope we can turn it around..
For myself I think you have to live in a way in which you can live with yourself and your actions.

Loving each other and the earth is really important.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Had my first couchsurfing experience in Tasmania and it was incredible, definitely want to keep surfing and when I am eventually settle some place wish to return the favour

Interests

Drawing is my first love.. but I also love photography and painting. Art in general really. I love watching great films or getting addicted to tv shows (usually made by HBO like Curb or Girls) and watching them all at once..

The world interests me!

Right now while I am travelling and woofing I am loving learning about growing stuff, nature,sustainability, philosophy, birds, camping.. the wildernesses of the world.

I also am a bit of a book worm.
