Pros: Easy going, friendly, up for a laugh, outgoing, honest, almost inhuman memory for inappropriate jokes
Cons: Drools in sleep, aggressive monopoly player, almost inhuman memory for inappropriate jokes

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make local friends wherever I go who can show me what life is really like for them. In turn, in the future I'd love to show people from abroad my slice of New Zealand.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Muse, the Strokes, Queens of the Stoneage and anything that makes you want to sing along at the top of your lungs on a road trip.

Top 6 movies: Silence of the Lambs, Four Lions, Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Shawshank redemption and The Emporer's New Groove.

I have too many favourite books. I'll read anything that's a fantasy or a good crime thriller.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exploring the Gaion district in Kyoto Japan... And getting all 149 eggs in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to show my hosts a bit of Kiwi culture and how we do things down here in the south. I'll happily make obscene amounts of baked goods for any host, including a good old fashioned Kiwi Pavlova. I'm an easy going person and really versatile, so whether you're looking for a new friend to hit the town with, someone to show the local historical sites or just someone to help out around the house and keep to themselves, I'm your girl.
