I am a student studying abroad currently in New Zealand. I'll be leaving on November 5 to go back to America and am trying to get in as many adventures as I can until I have to go home. I am a Nutrition major, looking to become an Oncology Dietitian down the road. I love to be outdoors and I love to meet people and learn all about different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student in a foreign country, I am not allowed to work. Therefore I am traveling on very limited funds making it difficult to stay in hostels constantly. I am very friendly and clean. My motto is to always leave somewhere cleaner than when I arrived so no trash will be left behind. I am also very quiet and do not drink any alcohol. I'm extremely thankful for any opportunities that I get.

Interests

Backpacking and adventuring are my top interests! I love to be outdoors and meet new people. Extremely involved in my Native tribe back home and doing research in the Maori tribe while I've been in New Zealand.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of Indie and read from time to time. I've recently just finished a book called "Mama, I love you" which is about a 9 year old girl and her mother. It's a cute story filled with hardships of an actress. I really enjoyed reading it. My favorite movie would have to be Pursuit of Happyness. I'm a huge die hard for Will Smith and I also love movies with Johnny Depp!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess just coming to New Zealand is one of the first big things I've done in life so far. It's been a great trip so far and I've really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful mountains and lakes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach different nutrition information. I'm still in my beginner studies but I do know a little bit! I love to learn everything that I possibly can when I visit somewhere.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to lend a helping hand where it is needed! I am more than willing to go the extra mile to show how truly thankful I am that I am being invited into your home.
