I'm a kiwi (New Zealander) travelling around the US for a couple of months - my first trip here and it's been great exploring.

I've been wanting to get into couchsurfing for a while so it's good to be in a country where it works.. looking forward to lots of fun experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know interesting people in interesting places... and get a peek into local life where I'm travelling. Much more meaningful than a hotel! When I settle after travelling I'll have the chance to pay it back by hosting people myself.

Interests

I'm keen on a lot of things... especially the outdoors! I'm a big fan of hiking and mountaineering. My background is in biology and I'm also into history and international development. Always interested in learning more about new areas.
