I'm simple, laid back and respectful (until we reach a certain level of friendship.. ^^). An introvert who loves to have a laugh and who prefers to look at the glass half-full. I make it a habit to remind myself to appreciate all (the little) things in life. A smile and an open mind go a long way.

I have a sweet tooth and also cannot seem to stop eating (one of the reasons for my current financial struggles. The other is Norway.) I'd take tea over alcohol anytime - that's not to say I don't drink.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Looking to make new friends from all over the world and also at home in NZ; and learn from people from all walks of life.

I cannot wait to return the favour in New Zealand one day - as soon as I have my own place!

Currently away backpacking through Europe after a teaching stint in France, hence unavailability to host.

兴趣

Adventures, animals, languages, food, coconut, small-talk, pastries, hiking, ice cream, tennis, pasta, exploring/getting lost in random places, reading, kids, mango juice, nature, japanese/italian/thai food, self-improvement, via ferrata, landscapes, board/card games, tea, blueberries, more food and the list goes on!

I enjoy staying in at home as much as I do going out exploring.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: I listen to pretty much anything except super heavy metal rock played at 131 decibels.

Movies/TV: I (try to) enjoy all kinds of movies. But I especially love comedy, horror, fantasy/adventure. Always up for a movie night. Also series both animated and not, such as South Park, GoT, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Modern Family, Adventure Time, Spongebob, Big Bang Theory, American Dad, Futurama etc!

Books: Harry Potter, Le Petit Prince, The Alchemist, As A Man Thinketh

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

To still be breathing and walking on two feet (considering my penchant for bad luck); and to feel grateful everyday for everyone and everything in my life.

1 month camping in and around the Scottish Highlands, including a few near death experiences.

2 weeks in Norway where I went blind up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere.

Finished 3 seasons of Game of Thrones in one weekend. Don't get me started on South Park, Family Guy etc.

教，学，和分享

Never approach a possum with a baby on its back. It will spray your face with piss. Trust me on this one.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Stories and knowledge from my travels or interests. We can play TT tennis or go on a random adventure somewhere if you want. Not afraid to get my hands dirty. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à me parler!
