Hello! I’m Māori from New Zealand. I was teaching and living in South Korea for a few years, but decided it was time to leave. I can’t go back to New Zealand yet because of Covid so I’m looking for places to chill until I can head back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for places to stay and people to hang out with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ah my taste varies but I love RnB and pop music from every existing decade. Top 5 movies, in no particular order, are Pride and Prejudice (2005), Inglorious Bastards, LoTR, Inside Out, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I enjoyed reading a lot of YA books as a teen and younger adult like Christoher Pike books, Harry Potter, and Hunger Games etc… I quite enjoy dystopian, fantasy, and thrillers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managed to maintain a healthy relationship with my whole family.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m all about culture. I can teach the haka! 😜 I would love to learn essential phrases of other languages and some history, and we can share travel tips about our respective countries and cultural dos and don’ts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good banter and possibly a requested gift from a neighbouring country.
