I am a recent uni graduate from New Zealand. I come from a beautiful farming region about one hour from Hobbiton.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel far more comfortable in Couchsurfing situations than in hostels. I think it is to do with the less amount of people, privacy, and the genuine travel experience.

I find this has been one of the best ways to get an authentic introduction to a country. I don't mind paying or helping out with expenses, I just want somewhere safe, secure and a great friend to make!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am great at baking sweets, I can teach you English, Spanish or violin. I grew up on a farm so I have lots of 'handy' skills. I love talking about philosophy... the negative and the positive. My personal philosophy is to live life beautifully and to live happy!
