About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a 19 year old kiwi on my big OE in Europe.

I was born in Wiltshire in the UK, and moved to New Zealand with my family when I was 8 years old. En route, we backpacked through South-East Asia, and I caught the travelling bug. Since then I've been to Australia, Japan and Morocco.

I love experiencing new places and new things, and meeting new people. As a couchsurfer, and a traveller, I like to be flexible. There's no couch too hard or too soft, and I can fit in however it suits you best.

PHILOSOPHY

"That you are here-that life exists and identity.
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse"
-from "O me! O life!", in Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass
