About Me

I'm born and raised in New Zealand and have been there almost all of my life. I have traveled the country pretty extensively, and now's the time to travel the world while I'm young. I'm going to be in the United States from May 4th until August 1st traveling and having the time of my life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived in a flat back in 2012 where my friend helped host around 15 couch surfers over the year we were there. I enjoyed having them stay a lot, however never had the foresight (was too chill and lazy haha) to sign up and do the whole reference thing.

Now I'm hoping to stay with a few locals throughout my time in the States because it's cool to meet people from different backgrounds, plus they always know the best stuff to do!

Interests

Hanging with friends, basketball, swimming, going to bars, dancing (badly haha), hiking outdoors, Cats!

Music, Movies, and Books

Into all types of music (what everyone says haha) originally got into music via Indie Rock with bands like The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Cold War Kids, Kasabian, The White Stripes, The Strokes, Kaiser Chiefs and more. But with Radio and popular culture I've definitely expanded away from just Indie Rock as I've grown older. Like listening to older artists like Otis Reading, BB King, Beatles, Rolling Stones to newer ones like Drake, MIA, The Black Keys, Nicki Minaj, SIA, Kanye (I know he has a crazy god complex, but his music can still be cool).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a double rainbow once...all the way across!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm also a Tour Guide in my home country of New Zealand, so can fill you in on all the cool spots (some secret) if you are planning to travel there at some point. Plus broaden your horizons with my knowledge of New Zealand (Kiwi) culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, clean and provide good company!
