I'm Scotland born but have lived in Ireland most of my life.

I'm a little wacky, quite geeky and I like to make up random songs and sing them terribly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on a massive adventure travelling around and working in New Zealand for a year, possibly 2! I'd love to meet as many different people as possible to learn as much as I can about life in New Zealand. Using couchsurfing will help in extending my trip as long as possible with the huge benefit of meeting local people and hopefully seeing places I would never have thought to see!

Interests

I love all things alternative like tattoos/piercings/body mods. I love reading and I'm a huge tv and movie buff. I'm a big animal lover, especially dogs. I love the outdoors but don't spend nearly enough time there. I love getting nostalgic and playing Pokemon on my Gameboy or forcing people to play board games with me at Christmas. I have a big appreciation for all kinds of art.

I have worked the past 3 years in a photography shop. I have a big passion for photography but unfortunately have never been particularly good at taking photographs. I work with Photoshop a lot for work and love being able to restore old photographs that people thought were beyond repair.

I also have an awesome and ever growing postcard collection.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have very eclectic taste in music. Favourites include Ben Howard, Florence and the Machine and The Jezabels, but I will listen to anything from folk to trance to hip hop depending on my mood.

I love Sci-fi movies more than any other. Also love indy films, action or comedy, or any film that makes you think 'wtf just happened?'. I'm a huuuuge TV buff and again love sci-fi but I will give any show a try.

Books wise I predominantly read Fantasy and rarely read any other genre. Brandon Sanderson is a current favourite and of course I love Harry Potter!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn as much as I can about different cultures. I want to be outdoors as much as possible and learn more about animals, plants, different places and the world around me that I have tended to ignore.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A friendly face! I would be happy to help with any housework while staying. If you happen to need any photo editing or photoshop work done then I'm your girl! Also happy to provide dog-walking services :)
