Hi, I am a 32 year old environmentally-minded New Zealand female who loves cycling, dancing, hiking, good discussions and food (preferably vegetarian), and relaxing with a book. I am tidy, considerate, reliable, respectful, and quiet. I am an educational psychologist by trade, and have also studied cross-cultural psychology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting new people and couch surfing seems like a great way to get to do this, with the chance get to know a place from the host's eyes. I'm traveling in Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany in August 2016 (cycle touring for part of it) and I'm hoping to do some couch surfing while on that trip.
