Hi I am Alana! I am a fun sociable person. I grew up in New Plymouth, New Zealand and have also lived in Auckland and Wellington. I have spent time living in both Scotland and Japan. Currently living in Valpo and about to return to NZ! Hoping to host some surfers there. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I have worked in the disability sector for 6 years, and I am passionate about making a difference! I love travelling, art, music, the beach, and chatting politics over a wine (or five...). I have spent time in South America and enjoy practising my spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
