About Me
Originally from NZ and been living in Scotland for two years.
Now slowly making my way back home and travelling along the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Looking to see the best parts of cities that are easily missed when following the typical tourist route and meet some cool people!
I think that meeting people from different walks of life if a great way to learn about the world as well as yourself.

Music, Movies, and Books
📹 Recently finished Mindhunter and Stranger Things
📕 Never caught without my e-reader. Currently reading the Sherlock Holmes collection
🎶 At the moment I’m enjoying Townes Van Zandt and a lot of psychedelic rock.
I love to see what the live music scene is like I a new city. I’m always the first one up on the dance floor! Why worry about looking stupid when you could be having fun instead 💃🏻
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Saw the 2017 total Solar Eclipse. Incredible!
Teach, Learn, Share
Recently I’m enjoying learning more about alternative and sustainable ways of living. As I am about to head home for something of a more “settled” life I am thinking about what that life will look like.
In October I spent a week staying with a family in a very environmentally consciousness farm setting , with composting toilets and structures made of recycled materials etc. It was a great experience and taught me a lot.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Lots of travel stories! Let me entertain you with tales of nearly missed flights and getting lost in foreign cities.
I love to cook and feel sharing a meal is a wonderful way to get to know new people.
