CURRENT MISSION
I cannot accept any travelers yet because I have relocated to Australia to join my family for a while so when I get settled I will start a new chapter in Aussie...

To give a personal view of Maori culture, language & customs together with a mixture of good food & conversation to FEMALE Cs ONLY...

ABOUT ME
Started hosting seven years ago after completing university studies and have hosted over 650 female Cs please look at my Cs profile before sending a request for me to host you. There are over 300 references. However, I will guarantee your stay with me will be safe & enjoyable. I'm looking forward to meeting YOU!

PHILOSOPHY
I'm very grateful when female Cs choose to stay with me I give a perspective of NZ from a Maori/Pakeha (non-Maori) point of view and discuss our culture & experiences...Lets celebrate & share our cultural diffrences together to make the World a better place to live...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCH SURFING
Hosting Cs since 2008 after finishing University studies...

COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE Hosted over 650 female Cs over the past seven years and look forward to meeting YOU soon.

I'm happy to host female couples (TG & L friendly) I don't host Male/Female couples/travelers or MEN (MEN don't email me I will not reply)

Why you ask? Simple...I enjoy meeting women & enjoy their company

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many...watching the birth of my children was pretty cool. Taking a walk around China was up there too. Traveling around France for a month was pretty good, great food, wine cheese & people.

Going to University later in life & graduating with a degree is up there too I suppose!..

Teach, Learn, Share

Staying with me is an experience. For example I encourage female Cs to prepare/cook their favorite dish from their country using my kitchen....and while we enjoy dinner we learn from each other, sharing positive experiences that can enrich each others lives as we journey through life.

I totally 'get it' Cs is not a dating site & accept female Cs only because I enjoy female company as apposed to MEN. I provide a safe environment while you visit our city. If your looking for cheap overnight accommodation then don't bother sending a request to host you I prefer Cs stay 2/3 nights so it's about enjoying an experience in my home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Advice about what tourist sites to see in our town including the free sites.

I enjoy relaxing with Cs sharing a combined dinner & if the mood takes us a nice glass of wine or whatever you choose.

A comfortable bed to sleep on or a big couch, I live close to town it's about a 15 minute walk to the CBD. Bus stop at the door
