Kia ora, I am Joy and I 'm from the beautiful Aoteroa (New Zealand). For the last 3 years I have been backpacking around south and south east Asia , central and north america.
I like to stay mindful and creative, and often find myself inspired by my natural surroundings. I really believe in living with intention.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to keep an open mind and am always up for an adventure. I enjoy spending time with like-minded people whom I can co exist and co create with. I hope that through couch surfing I can learn about my surrounding environment which respect to nature, cultural values and people from all walks of life.
