CURRENT MISSION

To maximise all opportunities and have a mighty great time! :)

ABOUT ME

Well I'd like to think I'm easy to get on with, enjoy the humorous side of life, enjoy socialising with a few bevies but also really enjoy getting outdoors and having adventures! I enjoy hiking and running and enjoy getting off road and into the wilderness. I love meeting new people and having many a laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep smiling and everything will always work out! What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and creates better stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have stayed with lovely couchsurfers on my travels in Europe, North and South America and have hosted back in Dunedin in New Zealand. Also participated in several events while travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed several couches in Europe, South and North America and loved it! It is so great meeting new people and talking to them about their area, which is often so different to little NZ! I have discovered on my travels that I get the most enjoyment and happiness not out of seeing new places, but exploring them with new friends! I love the local perspective of places and society that couchsurfing brings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too hard! Being at the London Olympics; meeting and dancing with wonderful people in Africa; Salar de Uyuni y Patagonia and living, meeting, hitch hiking and staying with the most amazing latinos in South and Central America!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love hearing about travel stories and great places to go and adventures to be had. I am also just really interested in how other societies function in day to day living and politics of different cultures. I can enlighten people on New Zealand having travelled nearly everywhere in the little country. Also know great places to run and race in NZ!
