I'm an American girl whose been around Southeast Asia for a few years and has recently made New Zealand my home! I can't wait to see all this beautiful country has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet some people while I'm out traveling the country and think this would be one of the best ways to do it! Also, New Zealand is mega expensive and having a place to crash would be amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mumford and Sons, Explosions in the Sky, Greta Van Fleet, 2Cellos and the occasional Carly Rae Jepson song as a guilty pleasure.
Movies: Anything but horror movies! Star Wars, Superhero movies, comedies.
Books: EVERYTHING. ALL THE BOOKS. As I'm in New Zealand, I must acknowledge that I'm a LOTR fan. But I read everything from old school British literature to sci-fi and fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I think everything I've done is pretty amazing, BUT for the sake of conversation... I ran with the bulls in Spain, hiked the Haiku Stairs in Hawaii, and drove daily in Vietnam (something I think is an adventure in itself).

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great personality, good stories, and a few beers! (Though, 3 is usually my limit before I fall asleep)

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Portugal, Taiwan, Tunisia

Countries I’ve Lived In
