I'm from Auckland, New Zealand. I worked in bars and cafes through university so I've got quite a penchant for drinking and eating out. I've just started a new phase in my life. I found out Im quite good at teaching, so I'm doing that now.

I'm pretty chill and usually down for anything. I've stayed in a lot of peoples' houses while I was travelling Europe and Japan, so I'm pretty good at reading the air.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like hosting people because I like to help people out, and while travelling - accommodation can be the most expensive part. And lets face it, hotels are pretty boring. Even hostels are getting pretty bad now that everyone is on their smartphones.
