Hey, I'm Emma. I've been travelling and working in New Zealand since November 2018. I'm here because I wanted to escape the rat race of London for a bit. I've done a mix of road trip, wwoofing, house sitting and working whilst we've been here. As I move around I'd love the chance to meet and stay with locals along the way.

We love being outdoors - swimming, walking, cycling. We did a big UK cycle tour and loved it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything I can sing along to, chill to or dance to (not necessarily at at the same time).

Movies - FernGully: The Last Rainforest, The Big Lebowski, Little Miss Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Books - Kensuke's Kingdom, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've cycled the length of the UK (Lands End to John O'Groats). Honestly, the best way to see a place and to take in all the sights, smells and sounds!

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing recipes, crafts (I can crochet and do basic macrame).

What I Can Share with Hosts

A home cooked meal (with beer or wine if you like a drink), tips if you are doing your first cycle tour (we learnt a lot) and friendly conversation.
