Hi!

I currently live in Hawke's Bay on the East Coast of New Zealand.

I am 20 years old, the youngest in a family of four girls, have nearly finished my degree and about to embark on some much desired travel.

I'll add a few things my boyfriend Monty is in to as well, he insisted that people also know about him haha :) We'll be travelling together around Europe in July.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am flying over to the UK on the 20th of June and will spend three weeks in England and then 3 weeks backpacking in Europe with plans to visit Amsterdam, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Croatia, Barcelona and Paris.

I will be arriving home in NZ on the 6th of August to then move down to Wellington indefinitely.

I would love to meet people on my travels and find locals to share with me their home towns, with the hope to share mine in the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Queenstown (beautiful place in the South Island, highly recommend visiting) last year I was desperate to do a bungy jump. So I was surprised with one for my birthday. Once I realised I was actually doing it I wasn't so desperate. It was awful, I loved it, I also hated it.

But I did it.

Montys most amazing thing---

Skidived whilst high! wooo!

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share some cool stuff about New Zealand and our travels so far.

Ella likes to cook, Monty loves this! haha

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to have fun and experience new things, exactly how it should be when traveling somewhere new.

When I return the favour and have you surf my couch (you can have a bed if you like, we have a few spare)....

I love to cook and entertain, so I will feed you well and take you to the best places in town.

If you want to stretch your legs, a walk up Te Mata peak is a must do with amazing views.

My parents own a boat and jetskis, Dad always wants someone to go fishing with or teach to ski/wakeboard.
