ABOUT ME

I am originally from South Africa, but have been in NZ for almost 15 years. I work as a web designer and developer. My husband (a fellow couchsurfer, Joel) and I live in central Auckland. I love coffee, living cheaply, yoga and stretchy things, designing, sketching, coding websites, harem pants, headbands, wine and being around people! Im a Christian. A pretend hippie. I enjoy change.I love travelling, cultures and people! I can't wait to go off again. Would love to meet with couchsurfers coming to NZ :)
