Kia Ora! I'm a New Zealander who is setting out to see a little of the world and would love to make some new pals along the way.

I've been living in Melbourne, Australia for the past couple of year and I'm now setting off on a European adventure. Here I've been working in Forensic Psychology looking into how the justice system works and how it could work better.

I'm pretty laid back and curious and love meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a couchsurfing newbie, but I really love the idea that each person experiences the city they live in differently. I want to share my version of Melbourne with travellers. To take people for picnics in the park and recommend my favourite beaches and cafes.

I'm also going on my first big solo trip and want to see the places I visit through the eyes of new pals who live there.
