About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Touch an Armadillo! Go to every single Disneyland! Eat all traditional foods! Try every new experience I possibly can!!!

ABOUT ME

Let's just do a 10-point summary shall we?
1. I feel weird purposely putting up photos of myself for people to see. I'm not really a photo person. But it's a way for people to see that I'm normalish.
2. I live and breath rock music, concerts, festivals. Its a natural 'high' for me.
3. "She'll be right". The quote that is pure NZ. Shows our lack of taking things too seriously. Going with the flow.
4. I wish I could be a Jedi Knight. Or Magneto.
5. I love being lazy.
6. My ideal summer day either involves fishing and beer, bbqs and beer, or cricket and beer.
7. Probably my fave topic of conversation is Conspiracy Theories.
8. If I could do anything over again it would be becoming a Vetenarian rather than the uni degree I chose. I love animals.
9. I like being positive (except when I wake up!!). I truly don't understand the need to be rude, bitchy, intolerant etc.
10. The best compliment I have ever received was when we were messing about at work telling each other what cartoon characters we would be. Everyone agreed on the perfect one for me: a smiley face with stumpy arms and legs. "WHY?!" I asked, thinking it was boring. "Because you're always just one big smile" was my answer :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Peace, Equality, Love xx haha - I don't understand hatred or intolerance in any way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this point in my life I'm more of a surfer than a hoster... When I finally settle down somewhere I will be happy to host! Haha. I feel I've been living out of my suitcase for the last three years... So for any potential hosts out there, the most important for you to know is that I'm genuinely friendly and trustworthy, and I just want to be a good guest, so if you want me to be quiet, I'll be quiet - if you want me to go out for a drink, I'll go out for a drink :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first two experiences were in Finland - such great people! Definitely put my trust in couchsurfing. Most recently was in New Orleans, USA. Yet another awesome experience!!!
