I am friendly, easy-going, and adventurous - I love exploring new destinations, learning about cultures, meeting people, and trying new food!

I travel not to escape life, but to ensure life does not escape me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through my travels I have made some very good friends, and hosted or have been hosted spontaneously and had some fantastic experiences!

I have backpacked, overlanded and completed various help exchanges as part of my travels, and now I am wanting to get more involved in couchsurfing, hoping to meet new people, share stories, and experience the local way of life.

In return, I’d love to host fellow couchsurfers, hear your stories and show off my little part of New Zealand

Teach, Learn, Share

English is my native language and if you are learning English you are welcome to practice with me - No doubt I’ll learn something too!

Estoy aprendiendo español, poco a poco, y encantaría la oportunidad a practicar! Me gusta la idioma y quiero hablar fluido.. algún día!
