Hi, I'm Genie,
My 'House Rules' as follows:
#1 RESPECT - Yourself, other people and our environment
#2 take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for your thoughts, words, actions and emotions.

Please read the Couchsurfing Rules and Terms of Use. (Scroll to the bottom of the page).
Couchsurfing Hosts are NOT obliged to host you.
Even if I accept your application I have the right to withdraw at any time should you show any form of disrespect.

It is my intention to provide a SAFE place where all who care, share and dare to be different.

I am wishing for a place where people feel:

1. A sense of Wellbeing (Empowerment)
2. A sense of Belonging (Caring)
3. A sense of Contribution (Community)
4. An opportunity to Communicate (verbal and non-verbal)
5. Explorations - learning new things

A place where a human is considered holistically for the basis of positive relationships.

I welcome you at My Place, Nelson, NZ under my 'umbrella' of Respect and Personal Responsibility.

Warm regards
Genie

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because is a reason...you might like to ask me, "Why?"

I have had many delightful guests as couchsurfers. Air BnB and others.

Be informed about the CULTURE where you are traveling. (I am of English/Irish/French descent)

I am happy to host 'smokers' as long as they smoke outside, down wind of me and take ALL their cigarette butts off my premises.
