ABOUT ME

I am 25 years old, born and raised in new zealand and have been there for the majority of my life. I finished studying zoology and wildlife management in march 2011 and have since been working with kea (new zealand alpine parrot) for the department of conservation. I come from a family of seven children so am very social and enjoy being around people.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't get hung up on the past.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people and learning about their culture. When I get back to Nelson I hope to be able to host others and continue meeting people from around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a few close friends host some couch surfers in the past and they seemed to enjoy their experiences. I joined and have hosted a few surfers in Nelson and now am hoping to meet sOme other fellow surfers
