About Me

Hello! I'm a filmmaker and small business owner from the Pacific. I live in Fiji now, but have worked recently in Tuvalu and Kiribati. My mum is Tuvaluan, and my dad is Scottish. I love travelling and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of couch surfing. I'd like to make new friends on my journey and see the location from a local perspective! Once I am back in Fiji, I will be able to host travellers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked for 2 weeks in Uruguay and Brazil. One time, we got stranded in the woods for the night, and couldn't sleep because the temperature went down to zero degrees (it was during winter). We had to stay up the whole night maintaining a fire!
