I’m a womxn from Aotearoa, NZ in Europe for a wee while to catch some sun. At home I study design for film and theatre, hang out with mates, boogie, make some noise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's really hard to meet people in this big wide world! Especially when you are only in places for a short time. So I love the way couch surfing means you get to know people and places in the comfort of their homes and you share and learn together. The generosity, trust and honesty of couch surfing makes me really happy.

Interests

I’m interested in people and cultures, and what makes us who we are. I’m interested in social and environmental injustices and doing something to make it better. I’m interested in theatre, performance art, live music, ruined spaces, and spending time in nature.
