Hey all! I'm Naomi & I'm from Scotland.
Arriving in Auckland on the 19th October, on a working holiday visa.
For the past 8 months I've been on an adventure around SE Asia (Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand) and for the past 3 months I've been volunteering in rural west Thailand right on the Myanmar border, with an animal sanctuary (specifically with cats & dogs) and it was one of the most amazing and fulfilling experiences of my entire life.
I'm very chilled out, and easy to get along with. I love making new friends, and thrive from the connections that can be made with humans from all over the world. It's one of the massive advantages of travelling. :)
I'm respectful and clean, I won't leave a mess that you'll need to clean up (goes without saying but I guess some surfers may be disrespectful when it comes to this)
This is my first time properly utilising CS since I joined, hence the reason I have only 1 reference for the time being - I assure you that I'm a decent person. :)
Looking forward to meeting new people, creating new connections and having awesome experiences :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet genuine people that I have mutual interests with, to create connections, and to get a more local experience from someone who knows a lot about the place I'm visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've got a very eclectic taste in music, and it's a must in my day to day life. Can't get by without dancing around like an idiot :)

I generally love thrillers, crime stories, and also factual books about history and the earth and universe etc etc. Oh, and I love a good conspiracy theory!
