About Me

Current mision:
Traveling to Berlin with my boyfriend Andy hopefully in June and we are not sure what we are doing after that. We wanna find some music festivals to attend and also volunteer at. Mainly travel around eastern europe. Help people with their vege gardens, party in the forest or on the beach. Climb a hilltop, and whatever else comes to mind at the time.
We don't want to have a rigid plan because surprises are fun.

I like seeing new things, learning new things but not too much at once or my brain might leak.
So I try and be relaxed and not worry too much.
I try to respect other people and their ways even when the are different to mine.
At the moment living in Dunedin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I also used to host on airbnb before it became too commercially orientated.
I like the transactions that couchsurfing offers and other platforms like helpx because like man people I value real interactions and trading ideas and sharing. I would like to learn more about other cultures too its not an easy thing when you are not staying in one place very long, it is difficult to get away from the regular tourist route at times.
Im not wanting to eat up people time or energy I don't have any expectations on what a host or guest should be I think its about feeling the vibe of what seems right at the time. Sometimes people are busy and sometimes not in the right mood to show or tell people everything. Thats my idea of sharing is that it works best if do as much as you feel comfortable with at the time that way everyone is happy?
I can easily find my way around and entertain myself.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted a few people though a friend that hosts all the time. I never found a host yet.
