Kia ora, hello :)

I’m a ‘Kiwi’ (how we like to call ourselves in New Zealand) and I’ve been living in Ireland for the past year. I’ve been fortunate to do a bit of travel over the years which has been very enriching and I grow to love more - I enjoy learning the history, customs and different ways of life. I was raised in the countryside so always feel most at peace when I’m near the beach or bush. Im easy going with an open mind and enjoy making quality connections with other like-minded people.

I’ve experienced first-hand the generosity and trust of people while travelling and how connecting with locals completely transforms a travel experience. Although I’m not able to host at this time I hope to connect and share some of my knowledge, experiences or just good old company with you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with like-minded people, exchange cultural insights, be in good company and have a unique travel experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Live in another country without knowing anyone

Teach, Learn, Share

I am of NZ maori descent and I can share anything about my country, culture and people. I also enjoy baking so if you have the equipment I would be happy to make something. As a native English speaker I can also help with language practice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Language practice, culture, food, a listening ear, helping hands and anything in between !
