I am a Kiwi hippy currently backpacking around South East Asia 🌍 I'm a free spirited person who loves life and trying and learning new things. I really love meeting interesting new people, sharing stories, and making the world feel like a more connected place.
When I'm at home, I do a bit of rock climbing, and circus classes, learning Aerial silks and Hoop, but while I'm travelling I do a lot of yoga, walking around city streets and hiking. Nature is my home so the more wild adventures, the better 🌱
I am learning the art of Poi at the moment, since I was a kid I've always been amazed by all things circus or magical.
My favourite way to meditate is sitting quietly with friends and chill music doing something creative, like drawing or making dreamcatchers.
My favourite way to celebrate life is a bonfire party on the beach or psytrace festivals with a group of friends ☉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore the earth and to make friends everywhere. Couchsurfing makes the world feel like a smaller, friendlier place. I believe the world isn't as scary as we are made to think, and we all need to trust and love one another a bit more.

Show me your city! The best part of couchsurfing is the chance to experience the city as a local and escape the tourist point of view. I want to learn about new cultures and world views.

I also really like living without the need for money. It is crazy how a number or a piece of paper can control so much of our lives, I prefer things like couchsurfing, growing food, dumpster diving, camping, living in communities and trading skills. Not only is life more peaceful, but you feel more connected to people and nature.

I've met people and gone places I never would have imagined before going travelling, couchsurfing keeps life unexpected

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in communities, where I met, and have been able to continue meeting, some of most amazing, genuine human beings. That is where I learned how to live sustainably, how to live peacefully with a big group of people, how to really connect with other humans and myself, and so so much more

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I am a novice at Poi, and making macramé jewellery, I can show you how to make dreamcatcher and hair wraps, and I can teach you some French or practice with you.

Learn: I love languages so if you can teach me some German, Polish, Spanish, or a few words in your own language that would be super cool
Also I would love to learn guitar, or really anything you have to teach

Share: We can cook vegetarian or vegan food together, share our cultures, and introduce each other to new books, music, movies, ideas and points of view. I am super open minded and love discovering new things
