Overview
About Me
CURRENTLY STUDYING OVERSEAS
I am a New Zealander who has just graduated from university and I'm starting my first job as a doctor in 2023. More importantly, I am always looking for opportunities to travel and discover new places and people. I consider myself to be honest, reliable and open minded. I am curious in all subjects, and always looking to learn from others. My style of travel (and hosting) is a bit adventurous, as I prefer the challenge and personal development this brings. Alongside this, I take travel as an occasion for reflection and inspiration, particularly for writing. Above all, I am on here to meet people and form what I hope to be life-long friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books
I am a big fan of film of any genre, especially foreign language films and anything Kubrick, Coppola and Bong Joon-Ho. I don't watch enough movies these days but I hope to change that soon.
I like to read widely, both fiction and non-fiction. Some of my favorite authors include Camus and Oscar Wilde.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My last trip was a 4000km motorcycle through Mongolia, having never previously motorcycled. As part of this I lived with nomadic reindeer herders, the Tsaatan.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love sharing piano, football, spearfishing, water-skiing, movies, and food.
