TEMPORARY UPDATE: I am travelling with my friend Kinga (Polish/Australian). We need space for 2 people, ideally a spare room, I've added a photo of her on my page too.

31-year-old, New Zealand girl (Maori/Scottish). I moved to the UK alone at 22y and I've been there and travelling ever since. I try and go back to New Zealand once a year for summer, see my friends and family, and catch up with all the new little babies popping up everywhere. No children for me, no plans to, I like the life and lifestyle I provide for myself (and that generous couchsurfers help support with their wonderful homes) ❤️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfers because I'm a little bit of a loose unit and sometimes go a little awol. I end up paying huge amounts for a room I'm either barely in or hostels with so many people, busy people that there's no chance to actually bond. I like couchsurfers for the opportunity to connect to one person in that location and actually invest in an ongoing friendship or the very least have somewhere reliable/safe for my bags while I'm on a bender for a few days 🙊

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste varies across rock, pop, mom 90's power ballads, reggae, edm, r&b with minimal hip hop/rap/metal but still there will be a song here and there I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done - I went to the 'When We Were Young' festival with my little sister!! Were such little 90's punk lovers and everytime I go home we have a night with all those songs and jump on her sofa all night so it was the most iconic thing we've done and 100% one of my favourite things I've ever done.

Seen - Japanese toilet

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel like there might be a few things I can teach, but I'm not 100% sure what raw talent I possess right now.

Always ready to learn about people, cultures, environment, cooking, history, fun facts or anything someone finds worthwhile to teach 😊

I'm a pretty open person so there's not alot I'd be shy about sharing or hearing 😂

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts banter and stimulating conversation. I can attempt to cook but I'm not great, like I'd be nervous you didn’t like it but will cook if it's a condition of stay (probably about time I learned), company/time out, if you don't get out much an want to use me for a touristy day, event or restaurant, I'm more than happy to oblige. If I get groceries, I always get extra or take into consideration what you might need/anything I'm using and restock. I'm very clean and will leave minimal impact in your space. I'm very positive and usually have a lot of energy so I can offer smiles, happiness and a bubbly attitude every day.
