CURRENT MISSION

Seeing as much of Canada and the US as I can before they kick me out of the country or I get married - working hard on that one too ;)

ABOUT ME

Currently on my mission to pursue my acting career in the beautiful city of Vancouver. I graduated from my chemistry degree back in 2012 and decided to follow my passion to perform over in the UK. Spent 6 years working as an actor and making the most of the London lifestyle before finding that I needed nature again and making my way to Canada. I love travelling - I never want to stop... I get "itchy feet" easily.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we should make the most of it while we're here on this Earth, because there's no point in wasting a limited amount of time - basically, just have fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted people with my flatmates while at university in Dunedin and also with my mum back in my hometown Lower Hutt, and a couple of people in London, but haven't been able to in a while due to living circumstances. I love meeting amazing people and catching up with some people we've hosted during my travels. I'm also open to meeting others for excursions or to go out for a drink/ meal, both while travelling and when they're in my current city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted, stayed with, and had meet-ups with all kinds of people across the globe. Some have become long-term friends, some we just enjoyed each others' company for a few days and others I barely met, but they kindly provided their space. I almost always have a more fulfilling experience staying with someone through CS than just in a hostel or hotel. It's not so much about saving money as it is about meeting great people

Interests

I thrive on new experiences. I love to try new food and experience new things. I love to be thrown in the deep end and really immerse myself in a culture. I am also really passionate about performing and art. I paint. I love to paint. It's my way to loose myself - and really take in a scene. I also really enjoy listening to music. And food, especially cheese - although now I'm vegan. but still... cheese.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be open to meet new people, as a young woman I was hesitant to stay with older men initially, but through experience I have learned that there's no reason to be ageist/ sexist... in the right situation anyone can make you uncomfortable, so don't make assumptions, just be safe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my views on life -spirituality, cultural differences, equality etc. I have been to many different countries and am bilingual so can share about life from my perspective. Also I cook pretty well so would love to cook for you. We can share recipes and favourites foods 😊
