CURRENT MISSION

to get settled in NZ for a year and live the fabled outdoor kiwi life!

ABOUT ME

I'm a larger than life English rose who loves travelling, reading (fantasy and classic lit), movies and WINE!

I'm currently travelling with my boyfriend, Dan, who enjoys the 'craic' as his beloved Irish compatriots would say!

PHILOSOPHY

Hollie - Not all who wander are lost (Tolkien)
Dan - If you're ever unsure of what to do next, just keep drinking. Something always happens. (my Dad's mate)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We're brand new to this experience, but my aunty and uncle recommended it when they came home from travelling around the world.

As we're new to NZ, we thought it would be a good way to meet new people!

Interests

We both love reading, hiking and all things outdoors. We're pretty socialbe animals as well, enjoying a hectic social life in London where we used to live.

Dan is a massive football (soccer) fan and is also very excited about getting into the rugby when over here.

Music, Movies, and Books

In honour of NZ, Lord of the Rings! I love all things fantasy, adventure and classic lit. I love epic movies like Gladiator, as well as my girly stuff - sex and the city etc!

Dan likes to read history and current affairs books, although he's been trying out more general lit lately! He loves a movie which continues to make him think after it's finished and his favourtie acotr is Daniel Day-Lewis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

5 week road trip across the USA!

Teach, Learn, Share

My boyfriend is a good talker and can yak till the cows come home, politics, history whatever really!! I can speak a bit of Spanish,so if there is anyone out there who is fluent I'd love to pick it up a bit more, or give someone a beginners lesson! I also am always happy to chat away about my native England and to let people know that there are also amazing places to go outside of London!
