CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know the kiwi way of life

ABOUT ME

I'm currently studying abroad in NZ. It's been one of the most inspiring and adventurous experiences I've had so far. I intend on travelling around the world once I figure out how to do that. I enjoy meeting people and trying new activities, foods, music, you name it.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love and you'll be a happy and interesting person. I've found helping others to be the most satisfying experience up to now and what can often help a person the most is the companionship of another so how bout we all take the time to connect with each other and enjoy each other's company. Also, having a positive attitude and fun with whatever you're doing makes things much better off, wouldn't you say?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this network so I haven't done much besides making a profile. However my guess is that this network will enrich my travelling experiences in helping to meet and connect with people from around the world and so I would like to participate by doing that for others. Shoot me a message if you want to hang for a bit.

Interests

I've most enjoyed learning about nutrition, sustainability and global issues in my studies. I am currently on the track of a master's in public health. Outside the academic world I spend most of my time being active or shooting the breeze with friends, and for those more mellow days some TED, NPR and artwork.

Sports: running, hiking, clibing, tennis, squash, ping pong, kayacking, swimming, anything outdoors really. I also like a little competition so let's have a match!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Filled up on 11 pounds of nutella in a little over 5 months with the help of a few thumbs that made thier way into the gigantic jar.

I'm also proud of a backflip off a ropeswing that I finally accomplished regardless of how pathetic it was.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we can learn from anyone that crosses our path and from every experience we have. Be YOU and live it up!
