CURRENT MISSION

Watching as many sunsets and sunrises, the world over

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going, humorous, and inquisitive soul.

I have lived and travelled in various places and have learnt so much along the way about people and religions and how the world actually works. I emigrated to New Zealand 18 months ago with my fiancé, Matt, and we're now exploring the beauty on our doorstep.

PHILOSOPHY

To see many a land with my feet and walk many a land with my eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hosted and loved each experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed, hosted, and met up with people all over the world through couchsurfing and loved it. Getting to know people in a place they love living and exploring with/through them is what I enjoy best.

Interests

Music, reading, travelling, learning languages, meeting new people and seeing new sights, sharing stories, drinking wine, trying new flavours, getting lost, people watching, filling empty pages full of words, dancing until my feet hurt and laughing until my stomach aches.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big reader; from Orwell to Paulo Cohelo I try to be reading something all the time. I also write poetry and love dive into other poet's minds.

Amelie is my all time favourite film, and a love of Audrey Tatou keeps my film collection interesting.

My musical taste varies daily. I am a massive live music fan so will go to any gig you want me to. Carol King, Jackson Browne, ELO, Edith Piaf, Andrea Boccelli, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young make up my musical upbringing. There's nothing like a good Northern Soul or Motown song to get me dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking up for 3 hours to eat a picnic in full view of Franz Josef glacier with just a handful of others and then cooling down in a waterfall on the way down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to think on your feet in front of a classroom full of bored teenagers or sticky 6 year olds, or share my poetry with you.

I want to learn as much about the world as possible, in the most niave way someone with the world at the fingertips does.

I can also share a great glass of red wine, as well as an amazing set of ears.

I could also give you hair a quick trim if you need it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good listener and conversationalist with a good sense of humour.
