About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save and travel

ABOUT ME

I'm a Registered Nurse and graduated last year. I can't wait to save up some money and go traveling again, as four years of study has made me get very itchy feet. I moved to Queenstown after finishing secondary school; from there I have traveled around the world, living in Canada, England, Australia and experiencing as many other countries and cultures as I could on a budget. After my gap decade I decided to study Nursing and ended up walking away with a nursing degree and a certificate in Massage. As for traveling, I can't wait to get back out there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would have loved to have known about CS when I was traveling, however being able to host people is a wonderful experience too. Living in Invercargill has made me appreciate my experiences with cultures from around the world, and I don't want it to stop, hence my couch is available!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love hosting people and helping them experience the hidden wonders of Invercargill, while at the same time enjoying stories from around the world.

Interests

Mountain biking, hiking, surfing, camping, pretty much anything to do with the outdoors. I'm not completely devoted to physical activity though, just love getting out there and enjoying nature. Also like getting to play with fire and dabble in fire poi and staff. To relax give me a beach and a book and I would be happy for weeks!
