About Me

**PLEASE NOTE I DON'T LIVE IN WELLINGTON CITY** I live 44km away from Wellington, 45mins by car (off-peak) or 1.5 hours by public transport. To get to/from Wellington you'll need your own vehicle or get public transport, so please consider the cost and time to get here. *************************************************
Hola! Originally from South America, I came to Aoteraoa-New Zealand in 2004 to learn English. Unexpectedly, I found my place in the world. I'm in love with NZ and with Wellington in particular. I'd describe myself as an introvert, but fairly social. I like spending time with people, talking and laughing around good food, but I also enjoy being on my own, reading a book, watching a movie or contemplating a sunset. I also enjoy light outdoor activities like tramping, cycling, swimming, and kayaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to contribute helping people who visit Wellington to make their experience even better. I hope to meet other couch-surfers in my next trips.

As a traveller and migrant, I know well how much a friendly face, local knowledge, and a helping hand can impact on your experience of a place.

I've been lucky to have meet amazing human beings through travelling. I've been hosted, given information and advice, taken for a tour, picked up from a terminal, shared a meal or a drink, had a conversation and had a laugh. And I've done the same for others. I believe in the magic of being grateful and giving back.
