About Me

CURRENT MISSION

sTART SAVING AGAIN AFTER SIX MONTHS IN South America. Will be living and working in Wellington.

ABOUT ME

Im a twenty seven year old kiwi girl , and have just returned from an incredible six months travelling South America with my best friend. I like to think I'm an open minded person, who recognises that I don't know everything and wants to learn from others. I~m looking forward to learning about the places I visit through local people and authentic experiences! Now that I have experienced couch surfing , I hope to be able to repay the favour to another traveller.

PHILOSOPHY

A basic philosophy of treat others with respect and kindness and hopefully the favour will be returned. I'm naturally curious and like to think I can see the best in people.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a wicked couch surfing experience in Argentina and have now moved back to New Zealand. I will soon be able to host people on my couch ( once I have found a fantastic new flat in Wellington) but in the mean time if you are in Nelson and you want to go for a coffee, drink or just want some advice about the area just send me a message.
