Traveling USA Feb and March. Will be in Cali (pref San Diego) and in need of a host for part or all of 5-26 Feb 2016.

I am from New Zealand and have been living in Sydney, Australia for the past five years. I work as an executive assistant and study media, expressive arts, and journalism part-time. I would really love to learn some new skills during my travels so I am happy to assist my hosts.

I am very friendly and relate well with people of all lifestyles and backgrounds.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I am looking to make a difference and have real life experiences during my travels.

Being a tourist is nice, however for me, really immersing yourself in the lifestyle and meeting great people is what makes travel meaningful and memorable.

I will be happy to host once I am settled back in after my travels :)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music
I love all genres of music! (everything from hip-hop to folk, classical and even some country) not really a top 40 fan. Pretty obsessed with Hozier at the moment.
BIG karaoke enthusiast!

Movies
I enjoy films by the Coen Brothers, David Fincher, David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Chan-Wook Park, Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie...fan of the gangster flicks

TV Shows
My all time faves are The Simpsons, Seinfeld and Sopranos.
Some other shows I like; It's always sunny in Philadelphia, Arrested Development, GoT, Breaking Bad, Shameless, Family Guy, Girls, Silicone Valley, Archer, Bojack Horseman, Orange is the new black, Last man on earth, Plebs, Chefs table, Top Chef, Fargo, True Detective, House of Cards, Black Mirror, Peep Show, The IT Crowd, Would I lie to you, early seasons of Entourage and Trailer Park Boys + all kinds of doco's and stand up comedy :)

Books
Most of my reading is for school. Very much into biography's. But do love to be inspired by fiction. Often I will read an author's first book to get a feel for their unpolished work.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Recently I did four action-packed days in Port Douglas and the ancient Daintree rainforest which included; Jungle surfing (zip lining) fishing, sea kayaking, crocodile spotting and snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef!
