Recently over the last 4 years I've been working as a student mentor and studying education. I am working towards a bachelors in education but have put study on hold to have a 6 month break to see some of the world with my husband. We are both very much into sports and being active. We love food, movies, and learning about different cultures in particular. We are members of the Baha'i Faith; the core teachings are to unify humanity, hence why we have a love for all cultures and enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I consider myself to be friendly, trustworthy and happy and can get on well with others. We are always looking to make new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people and find new friends. My best experiences when travelling have been when I can be with people from the area who can either give me inside knowledge or even better show me spots or activities that I would never do on my own otherwise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the ridge of Pene Sarriere in the Pyrenes mountain range in the south of France.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship."
- Baha'u'llah

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food! I think I can cook ok but not sure that my cooking will match some of the delicious local dishes, but never the less I enjoy cooking for others. Also hopefully we can share good conversations and laughs. Knowledge about surfing, if we are close to the beach then lessons in surfing. Once we are back home in NZ I can return the favour and offer a bed in our own home :).
