ABOUT ME

Bright, creative and calm. I spend my time between an humanitarian NGO, a print studio and an organic food store. I make artists books and occasionally lead workshops on simple designs. I also love getting outdoors for ocean swims and bush walks. Frequently seen bicycling and rollerblading along the waterfront with friends and a stop for gelato.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my couch surfing experience has been thanks to my partner, who is a lot more active on the scene than I am. We've gone to meet ups in Montreal and Wellington, and hosted some wonderful travelers. Favorite experience so far was inviting our new found Chilean friend to my hometown to play a couple of songs at a Peace Day event, then hitching back to Welly with him.
