I am 24 and travelling around Australia & NZ after taking a break from teaching. I came out here in August with the intention of trying a whole heap of new things. I absolutely love music and play cello, guitar, steel pans and ukulele. Im also a keen artist: I love to draw and paint (check out my instagram pippakateart). Im open minded, friendly and love meeting new people :) I spent 8 months in NT, East Coast, Sydney, Tasmania and Melbourne and am just starting a tour around NZ.

I will make you custom art work, lyrics posters, typography, paintings or whatever you wish to decorate your home :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience a more authentic travelling experience and meet cool people. Ive learnt a lot about myself meeting cool people in hostels but couch surfing helps you meet real locals :)
