Overview
About Me
Hello future friends! I recently quit my job as an accountant to travel the world. Joined couch surfing while living in New Zealand and got to host some amazing people. Now I'm on the road and would love to meet more people and potentially crash on a couch or two!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love love love meeting new people and hearing their stories.. especially those who share a passion for travel <3
Interests
Wine, travel (obviously), maps, listening to people speak in different languages, slacklining, hiking, the beach, warm weather, riding beach cruisers, picnics, swimming, trying new things, laughing, being silly, living passionately (how cliché but I love it!)

Music, Movies, and Books
Books - Favorite genres are historical and travel related non-fiction (but I do enjoy fiction as well!)
Movies - I've been told I do not watch enough movies so I'm always keen for recommendations! Some of my current favorites I watched with couch surfers. Some movies I've enjoyed are Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, Amelie, and Inglorious Bastards.
Music - Depends on my mood really! Always love listening to Ben Howard, Chet Faker and Fat Freddy's Drop but also get into moods where I listen to a lot of pop, hip hop and house.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hands down quitting my job to travel has been the most epic thing I've done so far. I hope to have some fun and crazy adventures to share here soon but to start a couple fun things I've done are paragliding in Interlaken, hiking Milford Sound in NZ and snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef (hope to go back and dive once I'm certified).
What I Can Share with Hosts
