My name is Mari and I am from New Zealand. I am a doctor passionate to see the world and do more than just "doctor- ing". I love everything about food and travel.

Currently travelling so I can’t host.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am doing an extended trip for a year around South America and Europe. I want to get to know locals who can show me around and teach me about their culture and way of life because that's what travel is all about- exploring cultural differences :)

Algo increíble que he hecho

Quitting my job to backpack around South America, trying to learn Spanish, hitchhiking around Patagonia for 5 weeks, and hiking all around Patagonia and Peru.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm currently learning Spanish and I'm very keen to get fluent at that.
I'm also keen to learn salsa and/ or tango.
I am a foodie at heart so I would love to get to know authentic recipes.
I can, in exchange, teach you English and share some of my adapted/ made up recipes.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am an easy going, fun- loving person who is almost always up for an adventure. I keep an open- mind and spontaneity is something I'm good at. I love to talk/ chat.
