About Me

Kia ora! I'm from Wellington, the coolest little capital of New Zealand. Until recently I was a restaurant manager, but I've saved up all my pennies to fly over to Europe and go adventuring! I’m a laid back kiwi girl who is excited to experience the food, coffee, wine, history and lifestyle of other places in the world! Currently living in Amsterdam, soaking up all the city has to offer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to experience the true feeling and life of a city with somebody who knows it well. Airbnb and hostels are great, but I'm hoping Couchsurfing will be even better!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of most music genres, what I listen to depends on my mood! On my playlist there's some Mumford and Sons, Tom Waits, Gwen Stefani, Amy Winehouse, Kora, Rudimenal, Tool, Fat Freddie's Drop, Wu Tang Clan etc etc. ...a bit of a mix!
I watch TV more than movies, big fan of Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Blacklist, Castle, Buffy the Vampire Slayer &a How I Met Your Mother.
Currently reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
