Hi! I am a journalist and writer from the UK, who has lived in New Zealand for the past five years. I'm currently exploring the US before moving to Canada at the end of this summer, and hoping to squeeze plenty of new adventures in and meet some cool new people before I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have a locals guide to certain areas, and to meet interesting new people!

Interests

• wildlife
• reading
• live music
• hiking
• outdoors
• museums

Music, Movies, and Books

Interests wise, I enjoy curling up with a good book and having a cosy night in as much as I love a concert or checking out a local band at a bar. Likewise, I love being outdoors and really appreciate nature and wildlife, but could spend hours enjoying a museum!

Music: The Clash, The Raconteurs, Jack White, Blondie, Kendrick Lamar, Stevie Nicks, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Anderson Paak, Arctic Monkeys, Dead Kennedys, Gorillaz, The Specials, Santan Dave, Joy Crookes,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with whale sharks in Mozambique!
Volunteered in South Africa, working with crocodiles and big cats like cheetahs and servals.
Stayed in a remote village in Uruguay, Cabo Polonio, which was only accessible by travelling hours through sand dunes and ran itself entirely on collected rainfall and generators.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hoping to bring some good conversation and some adventure, maybe a cooked dinner or two if they would let me!
