Experiences are everything! I truly believe that travel and new adventures are the way I want to spend my life. I love learning, whether it be in the classroom or a hands on activity. Taking photos and painting are my way of journaling and connecting with the places I get to go. I am extremely passionate about the environment and immersing myself in new cultures to gather a new and improved understanding of the world and its beautiful people. I am outgoing and always keen for a new friend. I love listening to peoples adventures and the exchange of ideas, laughter and much more! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am Couchsurfing because I want to travel around the world and meet new people doing so. I really want to expand my view of the world and especially get to know more local people. I believe that getting to know a place is also about getting to know the people. I would love to meet people who know the area and then travel around with their advice.

Interests

I love the sea! anything to do with the sea or the beach will always win me over. I also love learning about new cultures and history. One of my favourite ways of documenting my experiences is through photography or painting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Australian/New Zealand indie rock sound! Bands like Skeggs, or Courtney Barnet are some of my favourites.

I love movies and one of my favourite past times is going to the movie theatre with my grandma.

I love reading and am currently reading classics written by women throughout history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18 I went to moved to Argentina for 5 months to be an English teaching and start to learn Spanish. This was an amazing experience but also very difficult to communicate, but I loved the challenge.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my main goals while travelling around Spain is to practice my Spanish. I love learning the spanish language and want to get better and better until I can’t anymore. I would be able to help teach English as that is my first language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories and recommendations about New Zealand as that is my home. I would also be able to share recommendations on other places i have travelled, I have spent several months in South Africa for example.

I would also love to share laughs and good times! I would be able to help out in any way necessary. I have worked as a gardener, a cleaner and many other jobs so would help out where needed.
