Friendly, relaxed, loving life, passionate about social and environmental justice. Living a zero waste lifestyle in New Zealand with my partner, Liam.

In 2013 I finished 6 years of study and finally set-off for 6 months of wonderful travel! In 2014 I worked for an anti-poverty organisation in London, working alongside individuals who live in poverty in the UK, supporting them to have a voice on issues that affect them. I'm now back in Wellington, New Zealand and striving to support people in my own community, as well as re-engaging with the performance and music worlds in this amazing city.

I love politics, philosophy, reading and writing, to be absorbed in art and music and to meet people, to talk and to laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting wonderful people all around Europe...! Too many special people to list and webs and networks of interactions spreading out endlessly from each encounter. Travelling, hosting, surfing, coffees, football games, drinks and walks in the park - the opportunities I have had from couchsurfing go on and on! I have just started hosting people in Wellington and am excited about having a real opportunity to give back to this couchsurfing community, which has shared so much with me!
