I came to France on a bit of a whim. Five years ago A good friend of mine left New Zealand with France as his final destination. I promised to meet him in Paris, at 5pm on April 7th, in a cafe we were going to find in French literature. The next year, he hadn't made it to Europe yet, and the year after that I had started a vintage clothing store with a friend. This year, after talking to him I realised I had no excuse, and I booked a ticket that week, and we had the perfect Parisian reunion!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why does anyone? To meet some great people of course! Also I really want to travel with no set plan. I feel like I've spent most of my life following some plan or another, now it's time to through it all to the wind and see what happens!

Interests

Sewing, all things fabric in fact. Being outside as much as possible, specifically in the sun, animals, vegetarianism (both cooking and talking about it), and great discussions about life and everything to do with it!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an old soul when it comes to music. Bob Dylan, lots of soul and country. I'm rubbish with anything new, although I'm always keen to hear it!

Books, I love fiction that's a little bit weird, but not too morbid or disturbing. I love magic realism, black humour, and have a secret passion for fantasy.
