Sun, fun and freedom seeker! I'm 29, a kiwi whose been living in England and is now travelling in Europe..a bit of a free spirit at the moment with two passports and an insatiable appetite for travel, discovering new places and meeting new and old friends on the way. I like to think I'm open-minded, light-hearted and confident in most situations (except I hate speaking in front of a group of people!)

I grew up in Australia and New Zealand with adventurous parents, hence I love the sun, sea and wide open spaces. I've been living in Bristol the past two years. I have a lot of family and connections to England (1. I was born there) so it feels like my second home. I wanted a change recently though, so travelling is a way for me yet again to shirk my 9 - 5 responsibilities, to decide what I want from my life at this point in time, and to reconcile my values more with my day to day life. And of course to have fun and remember that life is an adventure!

I put value on things such as health, creativity, community, family and fun. I'd love to meet other like-minded people and be inspired by your own travels. I am eager to experience alternative lifestyles, to work and live in small supportive, self sufficient (or heading that way) communities, and so I plan to do some woofing as I travel in Europe this autumn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

you never know who you're going to meet or how the experience will turn out, sometimes you're out of your comfort zone and that's good.

Interests

music, art, photography, cooking, yoga, cycling, the outdoors. i enjoy going to festivals, exploring local markets, getting lost in new places. i try to volunteer within my community as a way to meet new people, gain skills and insight into organisations that i'm interested in working in.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: i can teach you once and for all how to tell the difference between a kiwi (new zealander) and an aussie!

SHARE: i enjoy cooking and adapting recipes to be vegetarian and vegan.. if you are looking to eat more healthily and consciously i can show you some delicious ways to do this.

LEARN: i would like to participate in communities that are working towards self sufficiency through small scale farming, sharing of resources and creating local economies, or those who are starting out in this. i'd love to get involved in some conservation work and eco building projects while i travel.
