I'm a first-time traveller all the way from Wellington, New Zealand, making the most of a year off after finishing university by travelling through Europe. I have travelled through Sri Lanka, Jordan and Greece with my cousin and her partner for the last few months but I'm on my own from here on out so I am hoping to meet people via couch surfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet people, get an authentic local experience and not run out of money and have to head home and move back in with my parents.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste ranges from Kdot to Bob Dylan to Bon Iver, with a bit of classic Kiwi BBQ reggae thrown in along the way.

I love reading and will read just about anything, although the limited range of hostel book exchanges is testing my limits - Mills and Boon isn't really my style.

Hanging out for Guardians of the Galaxy vol II. Political thrillers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the site of the irrigation scheme that my great-grandfather Paul was the resident engineer on in Minipe, Sri Lanka. The scheme helped bring water to a lot of Sri Lankans in need and it was pretty awesome meeting the people still benefitting from his work as well as honouring his memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can play a little guitar, make terrible puns, can't dance or sing but will give both a decent crack after a few beers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to cook, talk world politics, bring/drink craft beers.
