About Me

Currently living in Wellington New Zealand working as an Urban Farmer and Registered Nutritionist. I am super interested in growing healthy food and improving food systems in general!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed at a few places while I was travelling in Europe in 2013. I had such an incredible time in all the three places I stayed at, and I have hosted a couple of times at my family’s farm in Hawkes Bay which I loved.

Feeling very excited to be able to travel again! And to continue couch surfing while I travel the Americas in August. I get a lot more out of my travels meeting and staying with locals who have similar interests

Interests

Love being social, enjoying the outdoors, sport, running, seldom scuba dive (but i have my ticket!) and surfing (since about a year ago). Learning about different foods/dishes and local food production are also big interests for me.
