CURRENT MISSION

It's simple: know the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm from New Zealand, a great country but not suitable for a world traveler like myself. After university I started my travels volunteering in Chile and have since lived in the US, Australia, South Korea, Spain, Poland, Hungary, the UK, France,and now back to Spain.
I'm easy-going, clean, and considerate of other peoples space and time. ... PS. I've been to more places than I selected on the Location section. Maybe I'll finish that section one day :)

PHILOSOPHY

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.â

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Made some great friends through different CS groups.

Interests

Loves:
Living in new places: Chile, USA, Australia, South Korea, Spain, and soon it'll be Poland.
Modern Art - I cry when I'm in the presence of beautiful art ...well, kind of cry!
When traveling I use the day for exploring museums, galleries, cathedrals, temples, hiking, beaches, etc and the night time recovering my poor feet.
I enjoy meeting people and learning about them and their cultures. I love discussing politics, history, languages, art, religions, and books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one thing?! I volunteered in an orphanage in Chile - the babies stole my heart. Then I did it again in South Korea where I volunteered at orphanages and at a Women's Shelter.
