About Me

SORRY BUT WE ARE NOT TAKING IN COUCHSURFERS AT THE MOMENT DUE TO THE 14 DAY SELF QUARANTINE LAW.

PLEASE READ MY PROFILE

Please read my whole profile before you request to see if my home is actually for you. If you request to stay without considering what it says in my profile, then unfortunately I am going to have to decline.

ABOUT OUR HOME

You'd be sleeping in the living room on a couch, which is very small. We sleep on it sometimes so it is comfortable enough. More likely to accept guests if it's with a few days notice as we have plans most days. Also as we are working full time, unfortunately we will only be able to host during weekends at this stage (fri-sun).

Happy to take you with us to whatever we are doing, which could be anything between a hike, rumble in the bar area or to different events happening in the city.

We would appreciate some home made food from other parts of the world or a just a box of beer to share!

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Sweden but I have been travelling my whole adult life. I need to see new places and discover new things not to get bored. I have stayed with some really amazing hosts during that time and it has made my journeys very special. I get really excited when I see or learn something new and I have grown and opened my mind in a way I never thought was possible. Travelling is the best school in the world.

Now I've settled down in New Zealand as I meet my kiwi partner while traveling around Europe a few years ago. I work at HM as a visual merchandiser and absolutely loving it!

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am just starting to use this app on a daily basis. As much as I love hostels, staying with/meeting up with locals just makes the experience so different. I have never been able to host before since I was never at home. Since moving to NZ I've been starting to take guest when my busy schedule allows.

Interests

A day at the beach, skiing, climbing a volcano or to have a long night out are only a few. Love horseback riding, cooking and scuba diving!

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to deep house, drum n bass and anything that makes my tummy tingle

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Iguazu falls made me shake, uyuni salt lake made me laugh and scuba diving in nicaragua took my breath away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach your everything there is to know about peas (worked every summer in a pea factory). I can also tell you many stories from my travels around the world.
