Overview
About Me
Musician from New Zealand. I love music, travelling, good food, average food, food cooked by other people, food, wine, people who don't take themselves seriously, being there when it happens, Game of Thrones, swearing gratuitously and sleeping in.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I had a great time couchsurfing for the first time around Switzerland and Germany in August 09. Caught the bug since! Met a lot of fantastic people, some of whom I still keep in touch with, and would not hesitate to catch up again.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Zombies, Bollywood, subtitles. A mix of the three = epic win
Music: Being a piano major, Classical, obviously. At heart I'm a pop girl and can't deny a catchy tune, whether it be by the Beatles, Belle & Sebastian, Kings of Convenience or Justin Bieber (guilty pleasure, leave me alone).
Books: I can't actually choose. I devour books whole. Suggestions are always welcome.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Jumping from a 4th storey cafe building into the Zurich river at midnight is a standout memory. Starting a waterfight in Lake Leman at 2am which then turned into a full-on dip. It seems that I swim a lot.
I also saw a musical saw player in Koeln. He pretty much changed my life.
