Hiya, I'm a fledgeling software developer living in Wellington. I love coding because you can build beautiful things with some lines of code on a text editor - I think it's an awesome creative medium. In my spare time, I like to go hiking, dance some salsa, read, and pat dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing as an exchange student travelling around the States, and have really enjoyed meeting some lovely people through it. I love to travel and to meet people from all corners of the world! I also have a passion for languages, so if you can help me practice or give insight into a language, I'm sure great conversations will ensue.
