I'm a life enthusiast who loves the outdoors, meeting new folks and all kinds of travelling and adventure. I'm a born and bred Kiwi, living on The Mainland (South Island) of NZ.

I've lived in a few different countries over my years. I love the challenge of learning a new language and integrating into different cultures.

I'm welcoming, active, passionate about New Zealand and love to have a good laugh over a bottle (or two) of good wine. I look forward to sharing some great conversations with you soon :-D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new folks, I'm a keen traveller and spent many years in my 20's and 30's on other people's couches all over the world...I now have my own couch to share with the world, it's time to give back :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stood on top of the beautiful Fox Glacier in NZ recently...it's pretty amazing! And sunsets in Greece and Namibia are pretty stunning too :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up in Christchurch, NZ and have recently moved back post-EQs. I'm a local, happy to share stories about the area, new and historic...I am a qualified personal coach, currently getting back into mountain biking and hiking after foot surgery. Love my craft beers, yoga and catching a cracker sunset.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have an amazing purple couch...can fit a couple. Sometimes I also have a spare room with a double bed...
