CURRENT MISSION

to see the world, make friends, snowboard and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I am a chilled out down to earth friendly kiwi chick. I am a trained florist and love coffee, wine and flowers. I have done some waitressing and barista work in New Zealand and really enjoyed working in hospitality. Im quick to laugh but sensitive to the sorrow of others. I grew up on a small farm in the Waikato and maybe because of that I love gardening and animals.

PHILOSOPHY

Dance like nobodies watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like nobodies listening,
Live like heaven is on earth....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived in a house where we hosted couch surfers in Wellington and carried on the tradition when I moved to Amsterdam. Now, back in NEw Zealand I am opening up my home once again to surfers who want to come and check out Christchurch.

Interests

I spend my time reading in the sunshine or getting creative and making things and stuff. I like to snowboard and long board when ever I have the chance and just chill out. Im very low stress and just take everything as it comes. I love nature, seasons, music, dancing, gardening, travel, meeting new people, learning things, creating stuff, cooking and eating delicous food, art, culture, snowboarding and life in general. I like to socialise and end a busy day with a lovely glass of red wine and a sunset.
