CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying Pacific life and finding a job in policy-making.

ABOUT ME

I love life and I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. This is probably one of my favorite things in life with traveling. I love learning and reading, laughing, and good wine...I love long meals when everyone stays at the table for hours...there's always memorable stories that people spill out towards the end.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem. Whatever happens, if we don't die from it, then everything's fine.
Smile, show your teeth, enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met many couchsurfers in Boston, and I have enjoyed hanging out with them, they are extremely nice and open-minded people ! We have had crazy nights that I will remember for a long time.
Also, two of my couchsurfing friends got married a couple of years ago, which is wonderful.
I got involved with the CS community in Auckland when I arrived there and people have been lovely. I've made some of my best friends there. I've made it my current mission to convince anyone I can that they should move to the Pacific....!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couchsurfing for 4 years now...but I'm always moving, so it's been hard to return the favour on a constant basis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw whales for the first time last year and it was amazing. They came really close to the boat and put on a little show. It was beautiful.

This year I swam with wild dolphins in New Zealand.... It was amazing, they were really playful and enormous !
