CURRENT MISSION

My current mission to see as much of Europe and the UK as possible in the next two years.

ABOUT ME

I'm Christel. I'm from New Zealand but living in London at the moment. I worked as a journalist for three years and now i'm doing random jobs in London while I set up an online business to inspire people to go after work they'll love. I have a massive desire to live life to the fullest and inspire others to do the same. I want to see as much of Europe as possible in the next two years, meet cool people who live a completely different life to me and experience different cultures. I love people and meeting new people and hearing their stories.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that I've been put on this planet to become the best version of me, which isn't necessarily in line with who society tells me I should be. I have a massive drive to help others realise their potential and help those who are suffering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking for couches to surf in Europe and the Uk. Unfortunately I can't offer a couch as I don't have my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a few couches while travelling through Italy and Germany and had nothing but awesome experiences. Met some amazing people and got a greater insight into life in Italy and Germany.

Interests

Travel, people, reading, capturing stories through writing, film and audio, music (love concerts! I'm into heaps of different music), making a difference, different cultures, basketball, movies, dancing, blogging, humour.
