About Me

I'm a 24 year old New Zealander, currently finishing off my studies before hoping to head overseas in the near future.
My partner and I are both keen adventurers, and are always willing to meet new people and learn new things. We both appreciate good music, a great glass of wine or beer, a good book and a chance to go cycling in the sunshine!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We live in the world's southernmost capital city, Wellington. Wellington is a city difficult not to fall in love with- it's compact and easy to walk around, full of great music, culture and vintage clothing stores, and, you can walk from the CBD, to the bush, to the beach, all within five minutes of each other!

We live in a wonderful suburb called Newtown. Our place is a 20 minute walk from the city centre, and on several major bus routes. Newtown is quirky, young and interesting suburb, home to a cool range of little restaurants, bars and music venues. Our place is directly opposite a supermarket, a bike ride away from some very lovely beaches, and ten minutes walk to hiking and mountain biking trails in Mt Victoria. We also have a very friendly neighbourhood cat who likes to pop by frequently.

We have a pretty comfortable fold-out couch in our lounge and so can host either individuals or pairs. As I work for a coffee company, we also will always have fresh, delicious coffee available, and lots of good places to recommend around the city. Both my partner and I work full-time, but we should always be able to find time to show guests some of our favourite places in this city.
