ABOUT ME

I'm moving to Toronto with a working visa. So excited to make Canada my new home.

PHILOSOPHY

If you are honest with yourself and others, people will be honest with you.

Also I like this that I heard recently:
Ego says 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace'
Spirit says 'Find your peace, and everything will fall into place'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a lot of people when I lived in Wellington after my studies... then I travelled in Europe and was able to stay with them! Some of my closest friends in Europe I met through couch surfing. It's easy to find people that you really get along with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had great couch surfing experiences

Interests

I love travelling, having a tea/beer/fresh orange/g&t while sitting with the sun on my face, or a red wine with my feet by the fire. At home (beautiful New Zealand) I love camping, open fires, the sea, rivers, travelling in my van. I love fresh air and being at the beach. I uncontrollably collect shells when I'm at the beach and hope to one day have a house where I can display them all.
I like making things, knitting etc and I love bike rides! I ride my bike to work every day (almost). Living close to work is important to me.
I also love gardening. I hope to one day have a huge vege patch in the garden of my house in the city. Haven't decided which city yet!
