About Me

I'm a kiwi (new zealander) and i live to travel, drink coffee and eat avocadoes, have ridiculous adventures, and meet amazing people. I have recently finished working in Colombia in Environmental Susutainability and I teach English and I speak Español también. I've just returned to NZ and am saving to go on my next adventure :)

Soy una kiwi (neozelandesa) y vivo pa viajar, tomar café, y comer aguacatitos, tener aventuras ridículas, y conocer a gente increíble. Acabo de terminar trabajando en la Sostenibilidad Ambiental en Colombia y enseño inglés. Acabo de volver a NZ y estoy ahorrando para la próxima aventura! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reggae and 'alty' music (whatever that means...). I read a lot of books about sprirtuality and yoga, i like non-fiction but will sometimes throw in a good old fiction story :)
I LOOOVVEEE movies, anytime, anywhere, any movie, my favourite is Okja (see Netflix).

Me gustan el reggae y la música 'alternativa'. Leo muchos libros sobre la espiritualidad y yoga, me gustan de no ficción.
AMOOOO las pelis, cualquier hora, lugar o peli! Mi favorita es Okja (refiere a Netflix).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Is skydiving, bungy jumping, or paragliding amazing? Also once I ate like 3 burgers at once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and a lil something about 'eastern' philosophy, want to learn EVERYTHING, and will potentially share some recipes, serenade you with sweet songs on my ukulele, or simply share a fabulous conversation :)

Puedo enseñarles inglés, y un poquitito sobre las filosofías del 'este', quiero aprender TODO, y posiblemente compartiré unas recetas, cantarles canciones bonitas con mi ukulele, o simplemente compartir una conversación bonita.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you a bit of the languages I know, cook you vegan food, share crazy stories, and try not to annoy you ;)

Les puedo enseñar un poco de los idiomas que hablo, cocinarles comida rica vegana, contarles mis historias locas, y tratar de no molestarles ;)
