CURRENT MISSION

Study, learn Spanish, continue travels, get qualified!

ABOUT ME

I'm 26 and nearly finished my Zoology and Ecology degree. Im pretty chilled enjoy travelling and hanging out with new people over wine (BRING RED WINE ;-)) or round the fire at outdoor partys/festivals. Me and my girlfriend just moved out to an awesome house in the country have a fire and big garden, loving rural living!!

I grew up in the UK but have lived here for about 6 years, love the country! My hobbies are photography, driving my motorbike, snowboarding and learning Spanish. Open to almost anything and anyone I like to think! I'm really getting into my Spanish so if you speak Spanish be great to have you stay!

I work full time for The Green Party, and also study, so pretty busy in the week but weekends are good for hosting. Also have a big dog, she's super friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted heaps and surfed 2-3 times. However now that University has started and I work full time we can't host as much I'm afraid, so kind of minimising who and when unfortunately. If you speak Spanish then great as I like the ability to at least try and converse in it!! Also can only except people mainly on the weekends and Max 2-3 people as not a huge flat! Maybe see you soon for some drinks at the weekend!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had two girls from Argentina who ended up staying with us for over 2 months in Wellington! (not possible anymore I'm afraid!) We do have lots of tent space though haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think owning a dog has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. But apart from that.. Bungee jump, Skydive, travelling of course. And been six floors up in Christchurch city centre during the magnitude 6 earthquake was pretty intense!
