About Me

I am currently in the midst of a year abroad in South America and have recently finished 4 brilliant months of English teaching in Chile. Back home I look after the HR bits and pieces for an awesome New Zealand coffee company. Right now I am relishing the opportunity to explore some of the countries and cultures from which many of those glorious little coffee beans are grown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is very true that “a place is only as good as the people you know in it. It's the people that make the place.” I love to meet great people and explore new places and Coachsurfing seems like a brilliant way to do both.

Interests

I'm all about...food (trying it, buying it, preparing it, sharing it, eating it), hiking, learning new things, adventures, reading, swimming in the ocean, coffee drinking, talking, live music, exploring the world.
