Kia ora, Iaorana, Greetings, Bonjour. I am a 23 year old Kiwi/Tahitian who’s keen to simply experience and live a flourishing life seeing places and meeting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to experience a genuine exchange of culture and enthusiasts who like to meet and talk to strangers from abroad.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies that make you feel lots is a good movie. Spirited away and Good Time were ones I enjoyed recently.

Haruki Murakami and Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche are my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Japan by myself while I was really on holiday in Hawaii and that was amazing to me because it wasn’ planned and turned out to be much better than Hawaii. Yeah... unplanned, successful trips? They’re pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to play the alto saxophone and I can teach you very basic French. (exaggerates ‘basic’)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some good chocolates from New Zealand and a hopefully satisfying conversation that’s interesting and not boring.
