ABOUT ME
Hello. I think I am a confusing person because I interact differently depending on the people I am with. I tend to adapt myself and I am constantly open to change.
PHILOSOPHY
I particularly like this quote I'd read: "This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good. ~Anon
I particular like it because who ever said this left themselves nameless. It might just be by accident but I wished to think it as more meaningful in the sense that it doesn't really matter who you are and whether you will be remembered in history- just live life with no regrets, no?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to engage everyone to all activities I do. However, sometimes I think it is important to travel by yourself as well- that's partly why I am travelling around Europe by myself, and through this experience I've been moved incredibly by the generousity I have received that I would definitely be willing to help others interested to coming to my country.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've never couchsurfed before but I've heard that it is really, a really good experience, and you meet some interesting people. Hopefully it will be mutual and the host finds me interesting as well.

Teach, Learn, Share
I love NZ but it is at the corner of almost nowhere on the world map. Before coming on this 6 month experence, I had travelled almost to nowhere. I had only been to 3 countries and I was ridiculously shy in terms of taking risks and venturing. I feel like my travels so far have really extended these areas that I lacked, and I have no regrets choosing to quit my job and taking a semester off from University to be doing this.
