For some weird reason, my location comes up as Derby, UK. But I am in New Zealand right now and for the foreseeable future...So if you message me requesting to stay in Derby.... can’t help you there! Sorry!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling alone can be fun during the day, there’s stuff to do, things to see, sunshine to play about in. And then, it gets really really boring. Drinks and dinner just isn’t something I enjoy on my own. I like conversation. And I enjoy meeting new people. I'd like to meet as many new people that I can and listen and share stories.

Interests

Festivals, city breaks, partying, photography, design, museums, cinema, picnics, eating out, cooking (badly!), going for one drink and ending up trying to cuddle a lampost and ordering something crazy from online shopping channels, listening to peoples stories, and travelling.

• music festivals
• pub crawls
• live music
• camping
• theatre
• brunch
• restaurants
• roadtrips
• live concerts

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived a paragliding accident 2 days before my 30th birthday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I qualified as a TEFL teacher a couple of years ago.
I also attempted to learn Spanish with cd's in my car on the way to work but everything came out sounding French! If anyone wants to improve their english and teach me some spanish, I'd love that :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories where I embarrass myself, very simple pasta based dishes, and lotus flower origami.
