Hi, I forgot I had this profile and did not update it since 2016! That is why I do not have references but I have refernces from friends. I am currently moving to Melbourne Austrailia and will be able to host people in May of 2024! I am a free spirited rebel who is friendly and positive! I am a queer woman who loves to laugh and I am very friendly and accepting of people. I love meeting new people and would like to host people and show them around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would rather meet like or similar minded people to make friends and learn from others perspectives than stay in a hotel. I think we can change society and capitalism if we are open to living in new ways and new models of communication. I like to meet people in their cities and show travelers my city as well.

Interests

I love nature and hiking. I also enjoy swimming and boogie boarding. I like to see museums, art and live music. I play accordion and harmonica and like to meet other artists and musicians.

I try to have an open mind about new experiences and people and respect difference as an advantage in this world. I'm interested in social change and creating open avenues for real communication and a sense of community where we live. Respect, equality and liberty for everyone are very important to me. I think we can change this capitalist driven society by practicing kindness, empathy and re-thinking our socialization. I have been doing volunteer work in AUckland with a Really Really Free Market and cooking for a community kitchen! I like having and supporting community spaces in our neighbourhoods so people can come together and share resources and food with those less fortunate.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music especially punk and riot girl. I payed bass in a band called Monstera from Auckland check us out on Bandcamp "Monsterabanda". I love jazz, classical, Hip hop, rock, elektro and tekno. I love to read science fiction books, history and stay informed about social issues and radical rebels. I like watching movies but prefer to do or create things rather than watch a screen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've volunteered building houses with habitat for humanity in the USA. We helped older people repair their homes after a storm. I learned a lot about people and home repair. I also hiked to the source of the Ganges river in India and almost got crushed by a boulder.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn languages and build things. I can share various skills related to home improvement and the arts. From welding to silk screening and vegan cooking. I really love playing the accordion and dancing with fire poi. I really enjoy cooking for people.
