Bula! My name is Shah and I'm from New Zealand. I just graduated from the UoA with a B.A in Art History and Anthropology.

My parents are both from Fiji so I'm definitely an island girl at heart.

I'm 22 years old and engaged to my best friend! His profile--> https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/aaron-jefferson

I'm a super chill and laid back person..kinda dorky and really into comics, gaming, art, and baking.

Guilty pleasure: Anything 80s related.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm heading out to Denver, Co with my fiance as he has a job interview so we need a short term place to stay.

Once we have our own place, we will definitely be hosting like minded people! Pay it forward! :)
