About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm an English born Kiwi, I moved to USA for college (University of Southern Maine) after graduating I spent a couple years working and travelling. Have since returned home to NZ to get my teaching degree and plan to use it to work and travel the world more.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in living life to the fullest, I don't want to grow old with regrets and I don't want to lead a mundane life that just went by. I believe we gain more from experiences then things and I think we get rich through meeting others and seeing life from outside our little bubble.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As a way to connect with locals around the globe, and to eventually offer a place for travellers to stay. I want to be able to pay it forward from the amazing hospitality that has greeted me on my travels.
Interests
Sports - lacrosse, soccer...anything really active really!
The flip side of this is that I also enjoy writing, reading and just chilling.
Travelling and exploring this world, getting out into nature and experience it and all its glory.

Lived in NZ - hiked the mountains in the southern island, surfed beaches in the North Island, biked around volcanoes, run up volcanoes, driven from tip to tip, jumped off the sky tower and harbour bridge and have ate the best food cooked from a hole in the ground.
