Hello! I'm a 23 year old from New Zealand. Like most people on here, I love travelling and want to see as much of the world as possible. I have just finished my undergraduate degree in New Zealand and now ready to hit the road again. I'm easy-going, open-minded, and although an introvert at heart I love meeting new people and sharing experiences with others. You can count me in on almost any outdoor adventure! I love hiking and camping, and more wild the place is, the better. I have just completed my first thru-hike on the Arizona trail from Mexico to Utah and more are on the horizon, I'm sure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to get to know a place is through a local's perspective. I love meeting new people from all different walks of life, hearing about their experiences and sharing new ones with them. I am travelling to the States, possibly Mexico and to South America from March 2018, some of it with my sister and some alone, and want to do as much Couchsurfing and Workways as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to pretty much anything and love getting new recommendations. At the moment I'm into anything a bit bluesy like The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr., Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker, The Kills, and old-school grunge like Alice in Chains, Bush, Mad Season, Pearl Jam.
