I have spent most of my life in emergency medicine, working as a paramedic on frontline ambulance in NZ for the last several years, and just recently working at Scott Base, Antarctica as Winter Base Leader / Medic.

Im currently on a mission to travel some of North America, and spending a few weeks exploring California and its lush national parks in June. I am bringing my longboard (skateboard) with me so if theres sweet streets and fun parks let me know wheres good to hit up!!

Im pretty chillaxed, a kinda fly by the seat of the pants, not really planned out traveller, who is keen to check out new experiences, explore amazing places, and meet amazing people. Wanna go hiking? Show me your fave spot. Wanna hit the beach? Lets goooooo!

Im not a girly girl, I don't wear heels, youll find me in shorts not dresses most of the time, and I prefer action or time spent searching for the perfect angle for a great photo as opposed to boring trips to a mall or shopping.

I’m fairly alternative - I do have a lot of tattoos, I have a slightly punk rock hairstyle! I longboard (skate), SUP, surf (Beginner) and learning Muay Thai / MMA now..

I love animals, especially parrots and am keen to work at some sanctuaries while I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new peeps, push my comfort zone, get away from the traditional travelling standpoint and explore places where only locals will know!
