About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fresh off the boat in Auckland! Came back to amazing NZ to stay for (at least) a year while I do a postgraduate diploma. Looking forward to meet outdoorsy and active people as me, living the kiwi lifestyle.

I'm quite restless and easygoing so I'm up for any activity: hiking, running, cycling, swimming, yoga, road trips, beaches, climbing, etc etc.

ABOUT ME

I've got an urge to travel, a tickling sensation inside me that awakes curiosity and eagerness to learn about other cultures and people. I want to feel I'm an inhabitant from planet Earth, not from a country with its frontiers and social parameters, travelling breaks those frontiers and expands my horizon.

PHILOSOPHY

No plan is the best plan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Ireland, England, Italy, South Africa, Galapagos, Thailand and Germany. All different and fulfilling experiences, magnificent hosts. There is nothing like getting to know the local people and being welcomed into their homes. I've learnt to open up stepping outside my comfort zone. 100% recommended.

Interests

Open-minded basically, interested in music, theatre, literature, sports and almost everything that comes about. Eager to meet new people with other experiences and interests. I just love being outside, feeling the sun, rain or cold breeze in my face.
