Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I am admittedly a bit introverted, and meeting new people is not my forte. But if they manage to get past all my awkwardness in its entirety, they end up becoming some of the closest and most amazing people I've had the pleasure of knowing, and the best companions I could ask for whilst traveling and discovering all the places this world has to offer!
I am otherwise chilled and relaxed about most things, and happy to ride along and go with the flow.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't be afraid to dream big! It keeps you on a journey with directions, and the prize at the end of it is worth every bit along the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Have hosted several people whom I have met through couchsurfing events. Now looking to do some surfing as the next step!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Mostly going to couchsurfing events whenever possible when my hectic schedule allows it. Have meet some AWESOME people and friends that I will have for life. And even though I've lived in NZ all my life, being part of CS has brought me to places I have never been to before in my own backyard. THIS is what CS is about. And all the wonderful people I have met so far, priceless!
Can finally say that I've done some couchsurfing myself within Europe. Have met some absolutely amazing people during my journey and they are people that I will keep in contact with for a long time to come!
Interests
I like picking up new interests wherever I can. A dose of outdoor fresh air is always good, latest hobby being snowboarding. Other interests includes music, martial arts, various sports, food and sleep. Sleep is always good.
Yip.
And ROAD TRIPS!
Music, Movies, and Books
Foo Fighters, Ed Sheeran, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Linkin Park, The Naked and Famous, Lostprophets, Oasis, Imagine Dragons, Adele, Bruno Mars, Broods, Fall Out Boys, and a bit of everything from Lifehouse, Maroon 5, The Fray, Sam Smith, Muse, Sara Bareilles, Sick Puppies, Creed, Brooke Fraser, The Feelers........etc etc etc
Has been a very long time since I've read anything. The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Magician are the ones that come to mind first. Fantasy based stuff.
Usually love watching movies that are based on a true story like the Blind Side, Intouchables, Alive, 127 Hours, The Pursuit of Happyness, Argo, Catch Me If You Can, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Ip Man, Amazing Grace, The Sound of Music, Awakenings, The Last King of Scotland etc etc, but also ones with deep meanings, or those that makes you think about the movie long after like Inception. Action movies great when you don't wanna think. And intelligent comedy, as oppose to slap-stick type stuff.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's all about the little things in life. =)
Solo travelling Europe for 6 months. Best. Decision. EVER.
Teach, Learn, Share
There is an infinite amount of things out there to see and learn, just gotta go out there and find it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Smiles and laughter? I make a great cooking assistance - just tell me what needs doing! With the right ingredients, I may be able to cook something nice.
Will also pay in beer and dishwashing services.
