CURRENT MISSION

Get out there!

ABOUT ME

Excited to get out there in the world! I graduated a few years ago and since then have done a couple of seasons in the French Alps running chalets and snowboarding a bunch. Although I have some really awesome people around me, the every day is getting a bit dull so it's definitely time to shake things up! I'm looking forward to meeting some new people and seeing some new stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

It's good to challenge, and to change. Everything is transient and light. You just need to remember this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm setting off to Christchurch, New Zealand in December 2014. There are a lot of uncertainties but this will be a remedy to the predictable every day. I can't wait to meet some new people and get to know some new ways of living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new here! I like the philosophy of sharing your space and time with new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far, for me it has been living in the French Alps for a couple of ski seasons. Mountains never get dull. They were truly incredible to me, every single day. A powerful calming effect, and I miss it strangely and deeply.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested in learning: Apiary, self-sustainable ways of living, new things to cook

I'm interested in improving: Barista skills, floristry

I can share: My creative problem solving skills, design knowledge and practice, cooking and baking...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a variety of skills..... I can cook for you! Up for taking on creative projects. If you need a bouquet of flowers made up for a gift, I can make something beautiful out of supermarket flowers and things from the side of the road. If you need help planning a party or event, hit me up. Good at aesthetics, organising. So anything involving that!
