Hello! I am a Clothing designer from Dunedin, New Zealand. I have been living in Dunedin for the last four years and now taking some time off to travel around Europe. A quick summary of me I make clothes, love music, can make great pasta and crostata.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet some neat people along the way. Get in tune with real locals and learn about the cultures.

Interests

I am interested in most things creative! I have a huge appreciation for music and attending neat gigs, open to most genres. I love to cook, especially pasta. I would happily go for a swim in the ocean and hike in the mountains. I am always down on a good opshop mission. Love making clothes and seeing how they’re made. Super rewarding to meet like minded people and other creatives. I Enjoy reading and good conversation! Cinema & photography.
