Ciao all! I am currently back on the road again! Touring New Zealand in my camper van with my boyfriend! We spent the winter working at Mount Hutt and are enjoying the South Island from coast to coast now.

I'm from Alaska but have also lived in Hawaii for five years. Both paradise. ;)

I work at an amazing restaurant and am a substitute teacher to little kiddos. I have my degree in primary education but haven't been quite ready to begin my career (gotta see the world first!)

I love all things outdoors-especially the ocean and mountains. (Okay...most...I do not like running;))

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet new people. Especially others who value travel. :) To learn about the lives and culture and social aspects of cities I get to visit. Show me your true city and LET'S HAVE SOME FUN! 😜

兴趣

Anything outdoors! I am happiest in nature and love any water-related activities. Hiking and swimming/beach/boats/anythiiing water are my favorites.🍀🌊 Add some wine to that...even better. ;)

Live music of any kind. Dancing! Board games! Meeting new people. Trying new foods.

Consider myself somewhat of an adventure-seeker.👻 Am always down for spur-of-the-moment plans.

音乐、电影和书籍

I listen to a bit of everything. Reggae, 90's,country, electronic, bachata...it goes on. Introduce me to some of your favorites. :)

Don't keep up with movies but have seen a few good shows thanks to Netflix - Dexter, Narcos, peaky blinders, Planet Earth to name a few. Always interested in watching Harry Potter as well.

Jodi Picoult is my favorite author. Just finished "A 1000 Splendid Suns" and it was very good. Gotta find a copy of "The Kite Runner" now.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I do feel like a mermaid and feel lucky to have swam with many ocean creatures but my favorite and most exciting experiences have been with a pod of dolphins (in the wild;)) TWICE. 🐬🐬🐬 (Added a photo!)

教，学，和分享

Please teach me about your city!! About your culture and foods and family and language. Tell me about your favorite spots! I love learning about most anything. 😊 We can share our travel stories and you can spark even more of an interest in the world I wish to continue exploring!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My knowledge of Alaska, Hawaii, and other travel stories. If you've never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...don't worry I come prepared and will make you an American Classic (okay this is dependent on availability of peanut butter unfortunately;() I also really enjoy cooking and baking.🎂
