About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pretending to be French - we've got the wine-drinking down but still working on the language...

ABOUT ME

We're two girls from Aotearoa exploring the world for the first time. We started in Thailand and traveled through SEA, China, Mongolia, Russia and Scandinavia before arriving in France where we've been working seasonal jobs and trying to learn more French (slowly).

We're vegetarian, kind of tree-huggers, lovely low-key people. We're not the biggest party people but enjoy a few drinks now and then. We like to consider ourselves pretty open-minded and laid back, as well as considerate and friendly people to have stay with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've always been blown away by the kindness of strangers - even if people haven't been able to host us they've sent us messages to make sure we're ok hitch hiking or offered to find one of their friends or leave us the keys. People are amazing if you're open to it.

Interests

Travelling, music, movies, tramping (that's NZ for hiking), exploring, food, meeting nice people, friendly politcal debates, coffee, tea, biscuits, parties when we've got the energy.
