About Me

I grew up in a small town in New Zealand called Rotorua. I was never a big traveler, until after university. I went on my first ever backpacking trip in Europe with a couple of mates from my University and you can say I caught the travelbug!

I've recently changed my life so I can travel and work overseas. I'm currently working as an English teacher in Moscow.

I'm a respectful, laidback and easygoing person. I enjoy good company, interesting conversations, sports and nature type activities such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and rafting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people from different parts of the world and learn about different cultures.
