Kia ora koutou!

A 31 year old woman from Aotearoa ("Kiwilands"), New Zealand. I work as a dog trainer and am currently studying psychosynthesis psychology, with the goal of becoming a psychotherapist in a few years :)

Living in the UK (unable to host as I don't have a place of my own yet, sorry) and finding my way on this side of the world. Hoping to travel as much as possible in between my studies (luckily it's only two days a month, so plenty of time ;)

I love many things, especially connecting deeply with other beings - both animals and humans - and I love to make new friends! It's hard to write "about me" without just referring to things I like, so my apologies....

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

For the people! To learn about cultures in a more authentic way, as an exchange.

Intereses

Books, psychology, animals, adventures, music, meeting people, having deep and meaningful's, nature, spirituality, learning, beautiful places, getting lost, finding myself again, laughing, silence, dancing (salsa/bachata/kizomba beginner), playing with tarot and oracle cards, music, travelling, growing...

Música, películas y libros

There are too many....

Some fave books of the last few years:
Caravan of No Despair (x 10000)
The Alchemist
Women Who Run With The Wolves
Way of The Peaceful Warrior

Fave music of the moment that I'm not ashamed of:
Anything by Khruangbin (obsessed)
Skinshape
Arlo Parks
Fat Freddy's Drop (Of course, I'm from NZ)
Anderson .Paak
Felbm
Jhene Aiko
Stromae
Frank Ocean
Amber Mark

And a little guiltily, I enjoy:
Angele (Belgian pop music)
Afro beats as a genre (soooo good for dancing) like Burna Boy, Rema, Juls etc...

Fave TV show is probably Bojack Horseman.. No joke, perhaps one of the best creations of all time and I don't say that lightly... Give it a second chance! (I hated it the first time watching ep1, someone convinced me to watch at least 6 episodes - only 2 hours of my time - and it legit changed me, if you persevere you won't regret it!)
Also love Avatar Last Airbender and Legend of Korra.

These days I don't really watch TV and films, but back in the day I loved Breaking Bad, Lovesick, The Good Place.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

-Train your dog (and you) if you have one! I really enjoy this topic so happy to talk about it too :)
-Do a tarot reading for you (don't be scared, it's just a bit of fun)
-Discuss the mysteries of existing as a human being, ponder reality aloud with you
-Cook yummy vegan meals, including the most incredible miso garlic focaccia
-Teach English or some basics in French/Maori
