Overview
About Me
I'm a university student from New Zealand who recently discovered how cheap Ryan Air can be.
I'm now lost in Europe with an extremely limited budget and want to see as much as I can, especially since New Zealand is a bit isolated.
I'm a fan of getting to know new people and going exploring, since coming to Europe I've been loving finding abandoned locations as it's almost unreal to me!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm often travelling alone but like to be fairly social, so in countries where people don't speak too much English this can be quite difficult, therefore finding others who I can hangout with and enjoy my time with really makes a trip much better for me.
I also believe a country is based on the people, not the tourist attractions, therefore I love to get involved and truly get to learn a country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ran the South Island of New Zealand in a relay for charity.
Spent a week running 14 hours a day, this was definitely the hardest and most amazing thing I've done.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've got nerdy hobbies which I'm happy to teach, web development, investment and anything in business for the budding entrepreneur.
I've also picked up a few tricks on how to be thrifty, especially while travelling.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am happy to help out with household chores and cook for hosts, along with teaching anything I might know.
