About Me

I am from New Zealand but am currently living in Korea! I love connecting with like-minded souls, sharing our energy, stories, and love, and creating ripples of positive change together. It’s all about showing up as we are and raising the vibration of this planet, one connection at a time.

It would be a great pleasure to meet you and hear your thoughts with coffee. I am a therapist (lomi lomi Hawaiian massage and reiki) and a water engineer. I find this unique feature in my life, along with spiritual and hardcore engineering. Happy to share stories or go to walk around together, share culture!

Thank you for being here with me. Let’s keep growing, sharing, and shining

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a wanderer at heart, I've been blessed to travel the world for my work, immersing myself in diverse cultures and meeting incredible individuals along the way. Yet, despite the luxury of hotel stays, I found myself yearning for something more authentic - a sense of community, connection, and belonging.

That's when I discovered the beautiful world of Couchsurfing. This platform has become my haven, allowing me to connect with like-minded souls who share my passion for spirituality, growth, and meaningful relationships. I'm reminded that, even in the midst of a busy schedule, it's the quality of time we spend with others that truly nourishes our hearts and souls.

As a Kiwi living in Korea, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of cultural exchange and the richness of human connection. My work as a therapist, specializing in Lomi Lomi Hawaiian massage and Reiki, has taught me the importance of energy, love, and compassion. Meanwhile, my background in water engineering has shown me the value of balance, structure, and harmony. I find joy in embracing these seeming contradictions, blending spiritual practice with technical expertise.

I'm excited to meet fellow travelers and kindred spirits through Couchsurfing, sharing stories, laughter, and inspiration over a cup of coffee or a leisurely stroll. If you're a fellow seeker of connection, growth, and positive vibes, I'd love to hear from you! Let's come together, raise the vibration of this beautiful planet, and celebrate the beauty of human connection.

In the spirit of love, light, and adventure, I look forward to meeting you and sharing in the joys of Couchsurfing.

Preferred hosting style:

A coffee or tea together to share stories and get to know each other

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most incredible experiences I've had was attending the Spirit Festival in Bali, Indonesia and Auckland, New Zealand. This enchanting event brought together like-minded individuals from around the world to celebrate spirituality, wellness, and connection with nature.

As I immersed myself in the festival's vibrant energy, I felt a deep sense of belonging and community. I participated in various workshops, including meditation, yoga, and sound healing, which helped me tap into my inner self and cultivate a sense of inner peace.

The festival's highlight was the full moon ceremony, where we gathered around a sacred fire to share stories, sing, and dance under the starry night sky. It was a truly magical experience, and I felt a profound connection to the universe and the people around me.
