CURRENT MISSION

My country is the world and my religion is to do good - Thomas Paine

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think that I'm a free-thinker and I love to promote free-thinking. I've got a wacky sense of humour and I have a thirst for learning, especially about, history, culture and humanity in general.

I want to travel to extend my world view, New Zealand is a very small place.

PHILOSOPHY

People should not be made to think or do anything.

Information and education should be free to allow people to realize their potential.

Yes, this seems really idealistic but we need dreamers to have hope.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My flat mate and I used to host travellers in Wellington. I then went on my OE (Overseas Experience) and haven't hosted for a while.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As above, hosting people and now hoping to be hosted.

I am a good house guest! I have lived with an Italian family for a year, as an Au Pair. Wonderful experience. I have also stayed with other friends, family and connections while travelling before.

Teach, Learn, Share
