Hey! I'm a 25-year-old from New York who has been loving in NZ since February. After graduating from University In 2015 I’ve spend my time working seasonally and traveling, most recently working the winter season in Queenstown. Now that the weather is warming up again I've hopped back in my van to travel around the beaches for a while before I head back to winter in New York in January. Looking to enjoy the beautiful summer weather as it is coming around and spend as much time outdoors as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend and I bought my van back in February to travel around NZ in. Since then, she has left for India and I've been traveling on my own. I find meeting people in the van can be a bit hard, so I thought Couchsurfing would be a great way to meet people on my travels and learn more about the local areas :)
