Hi there, I'm not particularly good with about me's but I'm an keen traveler who is always keen on new experiences and meeting new people. I specialise in cross cultural psychology so I love learning about different cultures and how our interactions effect one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard good things from friends about couchsurfing and figured this would be a good way to meet local people and to find out where all the good food spots are. Also when I was traveling I met some awesome people and when they came to New Zealand I hosted them and found that I really enjoyed it.

Interests

I make music in my spare time https://soundcloud.com/illicitcandy/sets/turnt
so much is a big part of my life, I love music festivals and going to see live sets, I've gotten into rock climbing recently, dancing, photography and I'll give anything a go at least once.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if this is considered amazing or stupid but a couple of guys and I went hiking up mount koko head in honolulu recently in the dark with no flash lights, haha I'm surprised we survived.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not too sure about this part but I assume you experience all three when you're either hosting someone new or you're being hosted in a new country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a lot of stories that are pretty funny or horrifying from past travels (if you're into that). Also I've been told I'm a pretty good cook so there's that too.
