I’m currently in between running two educational journeys for foreign gap year students in New Zealand. Looking for a place to recharge for a little bit before starting work.

I love foraging, treading lightly on our earth, cuddles, climbing trees, swimming... everywhere, exploring places of natural beauty... going on an adventure...

It’s absolutely amazing to consider that we’re a part of the incredible flow of life on this beautiful planet that started three and a half billion years ago and has survived five mass extinctions... I am hopeful that we can allow the creative energy of the earth to act through us to hold the natural world and all beings in it with gratitude and care 🙏

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve met a lot of lovely people through unofficial couchsurfing- some really fun humans creating cool spaces in different share housing situations. Likewise I’ve met some really generous hosts around the world. Joining the couchsurfing community is a great way to keep doing that!
