Kiwi, with a goal to see the less explored places in the world.

I recently left my job as a high school math teacher because it didn't feel like something I could do forever. Now I'm travelling the world trying to work out what I love and how I want to live my life - haven't worked it out yet, but I'll keep trying!

I'm a big fan of going with the flow and not planning too far ahead; I've often had my best travel experiences because of spontaneous decisions.

I love walking to explore, but I equally love sitting in cafes with a coffee watching the world go by.

Outdoor activities are the best.

If I could travel the world following tennis I would.

Music is life.

Can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: I'm a big fan of acoustic style music, as well as folk, indie, pop. I also enjoy some good old 2000's emo bangers.
Current faves: Noah Kahan, Kodaline, Radical Face, Laura Gibson, The Wind and the Wave, Vance Joy - among many MANY others!

BOOKS: anything! Until I left my job, I mostly read for down time, so often things by Marian Keyes, Monica McInerney, Cecelia Ahern, Sophie Kinsella and Jojo Moyes.
But I particularly enjoy something a bit more challenging.
Paulo Coelho is great.
But Harry Potter will always occupy the number one spot in my heart!

MOVIES: I don't watch a lot of movies, but anything funny is good.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more languages! Any language! But also generally anything - I love to learn.

I know a fair bit about music which I'm more than happy to talk about!

I'm not very good at thinking of things I can teach people, but I'm sure there's things!
