I'm currently travelling in India for ten weeks - I've wanted to come here for years and so far absolutely loving it. I'm from New Zealand and on my way to live in England. I would love to learn to cook Indian food.

I enjoy sailing, scuba diving, hiking, cooking and some other stuff. I love reading although possibly I love books even more. One day I will have a library in my house filled with leather bound books and ceiling high bookshelves. Mostly, I just like the smell of them. The stories are a bonus.

I enjoy being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've travelled around Europe couchsurfing for about five months and stayed with a bunch of hosts. While I was studying in Dunedin I've also hosted a whole bunch of travellers which was great fun.

COUCHSRFING EXPERIENCE

Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Poland and Sweden. Surfing for three months solid - wonderful experience. Hosted heaps of surfers over two years of studying at uni

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been around the world a bit, and nothing could beat standing on the cliff above the house where I grew up, staring out at the ocean, with wind slamming against my face.
Powerful Stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to experience the world.

Give me a knife, a stick of cherry wood and a ball of wool and I can make you a pumpkin hammock! Very useful for storing your homegrown pumpkins over the winter!

I enjoy board games ... and love to learn new ones when possible.
