My name is Jami! I am 18 years old and have decided that before I commit to a degree in what I hope to be Neurology focussed I have decided to follow my wandering self into this big ol' world! I am from New Zealand and have grown up extremely privileged with beautiful, lush surroundings and a wonderful family. I have a deep interest in the idea of a "way of life" and love hearing about different peoples versions of that. I am still discovering what i choose my way of life to be but am currently enjoying each and every moment for what this life is doing for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled Asia for 2 months and am now in Europe! I thought this would be the next best thing to finding interesting and welcoming people rather than hostels, plus it gives me a more in depth experience of the easily touristic sides of Europe! I hope to return home in October and begin hosting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm completing a journal of, hopefully, 200 people before my 200 day trip ends. Am seeking people who touch my soul to fill out a few inward looking questions in order to gain a better understanding of the similarities and differences between people of opposing walks of life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a love for music, am in a band at home, I can show you our music if you would like! (Although it isn't for everyone!), A need for in-depth conversation and a true passion for equality of all kinds and love others who also feel the same injustices and aspire to seek resolution or atleast feel the need to spread education. I love to cook and am also vegan, if you're willing to try something new, or are also a vegan or vegetarian I would love to share a meal with you!
