I am a woman of polar opposites. I'm a bit of an old soul - I love my tea, early nights and snuggling up by the fire. On the other hand, I love adventure, exploring, trying new things and making the most of my one life. I am animal crazy, an Environmental Management/Zoology student, and totally obsessed with travelling as much as I can!

I am originally from New Zealand, but have lived in Tonga, Australia and South Africa. I now live in Dunedin, New Zealand where I work as a Wildlife Guide 7 months of the year - the rest of the time is for study and travel <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it exhilarating to meet new people, and get to know a country through it's people - there is no better experience than getting the local experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Typically into Indie, Rock and Punk Rock, but in my old age I think I am mellowing and becoming a little more tolerant to other types of music.
