Hi,
my name is Lluisa as so many people I am addicted to travelling, meeting new people and having new experiences.

currently in New-Zealand making my way from Southland to Dunedin --> Wanaka --> Mt. Cook --> Christchurch --> Kaikoura --> Abel Tasman --> Picton --> North Island --> Tongariro Northern circuit on the 28th--> moving on to Raglan to surf a bit --> further up North...

would love to couchsurf along the way, I have a car and can always sleep in it.

I studied environmental engineering but haven't found the thing I want to do with that just yet, maybe there's just more to life than finding that so that's why I decided to quit my current office job and travel for a while :)

I love spending time in nature (hiking, surfing, just sleeping in a hammock on the beach,...) and have a slight obsession for everything ocean related and MUSIC. I can enjoy cities too every now and then but not for too long but sometimes you just need some good coffee and some concerts or parties.

Very interested in sustainable living and adapting my own life more to that.

I love to meet new people and listening to their stories about life.

Looking forward meeting you!

Lluisa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As much as I love the hostel vibe I sometimes enjoy it more to meet people who actually live in the town or place I visit, it's just a different kind of interesting if not more interesting to get to know a place through there eyes. You also meet people in a more profound way than just "where you from, where have you been" kind of vibe you get in hostels, which is (don't get me wrong) also nice.
I am not going to lie and say that I also consider couchsurfing as a way to be able to travel with a limited budget, but by exchanging stories, cooking, helping around the house I think it can be a valuable trade .
