Hello!
My name is Grace and I'm a 24 year old living in Auckland, New Zealand. Since graduating Auckland University where I studied Psychology, Film, and Japanese, - I've been working in the Music Industry. I play in some bands, but mostly am a freelance promoter (organising tours for overseas bands in New Zealand) and I am also working as a Music Supervision Assistant (choosing music for films and tv).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my main passions is travelling! I've visited a lot of countries and have many stories to tell :)) and enjoy the way that travelling enables me to meet different people from outside of my usual bubble.
I am open to meeting people from all cultures and backgrounds and learning about their life experiences. I have done some volunteer work for social activist groups in NZ - mostly related to racial and gender equality.

Most of all I love the way that couchsurfing enables me to see the place I'm in from a local perspective.
