Hello! My names Neive and I'm a New Zealand based musician born and raised in the little city of Ōtepoti/ Dunedin. I've been busy creating indie/folk/pop music, playing in both my own band and a band called Dimmer nationally for the past few years as well as trying to establish my own little crochet business ~ @knotsbyneive. It now feels like the right time to step out and see more of the world, gain inspiration and meet more creatives abroad with my partner, Nick! Nick is a visual artist (painter) and we are both super excited to be taking on this journey together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've stumbled upon Couchsurfing through recommendations from friends. Each stay sounds like a really unique experience and great way to get immersed upon the local culture of a place! I'm excited to meet lovely like minded people who are just trying to help people out where they can. I love the concept and will definitely be a host when possible!
