Hey I'm Odette. I grew up up basically my entire life in New Zealand, but as far back as I can remember I have wanted to travel the world, go everywhere, see everything and meet amazing people. I would love to meet anyone who has has an open mind and a story to tell.

I am a traveller at heart and love to meet people from all walks of life. I have grown up in a house where we always had WWOOFers, CouchSurfers and homestays staying, and I love it. Having exposure to all different cultures has inspired me more than anything.

December 2016 I boarded a flight, a one way ticket leaving New Zealand. I have been solo traveling since then, 5 months in Asia and the past 5 in the USA. I have explored, I have worked, I have been taken out of my comfort zone, adapted, and learned more about my self than I know yet.

I have an eclectic mix of interests including art, design, cooking, theatre, fashion, outdoors, architecture and politics. Love to have fun, talk, cook and share experiences.

I no idea of what the future holds and where I may be within it, but...
"I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale." -F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Such an awesome way to meet locals and share stories. I am in love with traveling and meeting people from all different cultures and backgrounds and sharing my own stories and culture. Make connections.
