Overview
About Me
I am a New Zealander who loves to chill and chat over a cup of tea/coffee (or glass of wine). I am easy-going, respectful and trustworthy.
I like meeting people and seeing new places. Enjoy live music, guitar, sewing, hockey. Conversational Spanish and keen to improve! I want to hang with some fun, interesting people and get a local feel for places.
I appreciate slower travel and volunteering experiences have been highlights. Learning new things and sharing new ideas. Having a good laugh with good people who don't take things too seriously.
I live my life to have fun with great people around me, while respecting the planet.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to experience places from a local's perspective, sharing stories and appreciating the simple things in life. I like spontaneous fun. Although I like hostels, couchsurfing offers a different style of travel that can benefit hosts and couchsurfers for both. I really want to get involved in this exciting way of meeting people and sharing cultures!
