I'm a 28-year-old Kiwi who loves travelling and being outdoors, am also a serious lover of cats 🐱 Enjoy meeting new people and trying new food 🍝🍕🍜🥘🍛

Currently travelling around Europe with my boyfriend (also a 28 y/o Kiwi) in a little van for 6 months 🚐

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals, get local travel tips and learn about different cultures/food/languages/history etc. And to host others when I'm back living in NZ or Australia.

Not necessarily needing a couch to crash on (although that would be awesome too) but more a place to park our little van in for a night or 2 (or a proper shower if we're lucky!) and some friendly people to hang out with and share a bev or 2 🥂
