I'm a student from New Zealand, currently studying an exchange semester in Aarhus, Denmark, and then travelling back home through any number of places for a few months in 2019. Fostering community and connection through hospitality is something I was brought up on so want to share that with others both as a host and as a guest.

In my day to day life, I try and build solidarity in the global climate justice movement, and am passionate about politics, music, and urbanism! I love getting to know people, places and local culture through a cup-of-tea-conversation, wandering city streets, and listening to local music :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard great things about it as a way to travel that goes beyond a narrow consumer experience of a hostel or airbnb stay. Particularly in coming months while I am in Europe, I have lots of time to travel and host before I move back to New Zealand :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Currently a massive fan of The War on Drugs and Wolf Alice. Also SWIDT and The Beths are New Zealand's greatest current undiscovered musical exports. Know them now before they become the next Lorde!
Books: Always Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings
Movie: Once (an Irish independent musical made on a tiny budget - great movie, heartbreaking songs!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Led a protest march at the COP22, the United Nations Global Climate Change Talks in Marrakech, Morocco in 2016.
