Hi Guys

My name is Natalie, I'm 35 years old from NZ.

In my 20s I Iived in London and Melbourne but moved home to NZ 5ish years ago. I'm now based in Christchurch (moved here for the mountains) and you can now find me out trail running, hiking, mountain biking, rogaining ect on weeknights and in weekends.

I work for the Department of Conservation in Christchurch. Love my job, love my life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Heading to Japan in July (finally doing a trip again post-covid). Hoping to find a few locals to go hiking with, see the sights, or grab a beer.

Interests

My main interest is the outdoors. I go Rogaining (similar to Orienteering) once a month and often go on hikes or trail runs.

I also live to usual things like going out for drinks with friends at pubs or relaxed bars (my clubbing days are well and truly over). Love a good movie on the couch and occasionally watch trash on TV.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all music (I'll pass on the rap and metal). More chilled out vibes are my style.

Love movies. Generally sci fi, comedy, action but I'll give anything a go.

Books currently consist of those that I am studying. But when travelling I like to pick up any of the Penguin classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learnt my taxi driver in Malaga, Spain used to be a hairdresser so hung out with him after work and got a haircut (it was quite a bad one :P )
