I'm an adventurer that loves to explore the world around me and meet new people. I started backpacking a few years ago and love every minute of it. I like to have fun, be spontaneous, and learn about different cultures. I just moved to Auckland to pursue a PhD in sport and exercise science! Would love to meet some people in the area and explore the country as much as possible! I’m a coffee fiend, so If you like coffee I’m sure we’ll be friends

Happiness is a choice! This world is far too exciting to be bored, just have to look around a little. Every day is a new opportunity to do what you want with your life. Find what you're passionate about and go for it (:

You can be cold, wet, and miserable, or just cold, and wet! It's all about perspective!

**Fyi- my life is pretty hectic, and I like being pretty spontaneous, so I won’t confirm Couchsurfing guests a couple weeks out because i never know where I’m gonna end up!**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think you can learn much more about a place by where the locals go, then by what you find on tourist guides.

I love meeting new people, and learning about different ways of life. There's a million ways to achieve the same goal and I'm constantly inspired by the ways people choose to live.

And I'm on that budget life..

Teach, Learn, Share

You can always teach or share perspective. I think that's one of the most valuable gifts in this world. Would live to learn to play the guitar one day.
