About Me

Hello! Im a traveler from Aotearoa NZ, currently travelling Europe. I have been travelling around my home country for the last 2.5 years hitchhiking with my tent between different mud building projects!

I have a deep love for life and am passionate about learning new cultures, painting, open/in-depth/vulnerable conversations, architecture and remembering we are nature (camping, swimming, hiking etc.) Im pretty relaxed, open and I love to connect with new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A long time ago, I would go travelling anticipating that sight-seeing would be the most memorable takeaway but i was continually shown otherwise! What is most important to me now is all the people who become friends for a day, a week, or a lifetime! The kind and loving nature of other travelers are the most touching and I come away feeling like ive gained something unexplainable. I like couchsurfing because no matter how detailed someones descriptions are, you never really know who theyll be and thats exciting and wonderful:)

(I do not use couchsurfing as a dating/ hookup site or just for free accomodation. If this is your intention then please do not accept or request me. I want to genuinely make friends and have new experiences)

Music, Movies, and Books

Live music is the best! I love any kind of music that speaks to my soul and makes me groove! Neosoul, jazz, dubstep/bass, reggae, hiphop, funk, afro beat, r&b... I don’t play any instruments but I looove to listen and let my body move itself to the rhythm

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a rural Malawian village as a volunteer teacher for 6 months and hitchhiked my way from the victoria falls across Zambia, past the border and back to Malawi.

Teach, Learn, Share

My biggest love at the moment is earth building🤎🤎 I love to share my knowledge about building with natural materials with anyone who is interested!
I am constantly deepening/ evolving my relationship to spirituality and am always open to conversations and practices around this.
I love sharing conversations, travel stories, hearing new perspectives, psychology, getting to know each other's deeper sides

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share travel stories and tips/recommendations! I can cook a tasty vegetarian curry! I can share my knowledge and passion for earth building! and I would LOVE to walk your dogs. I am of course happy to help around the house, wash dishes, and follow any house rules. I am respectful and considerate.
