About Me

Kia ora, starshine ✨

31 sun rotations have transformed me into a colourful, sparkly woman who lives this party of life connecting with Mother Nature, enjoying her fruits and her spectacular creations such as you, my kindred spirit.

I'm an extrovert who fills my cup in the well of social buzz, meaning, even if I'm feeling introverted I still like to be surrounded by others.

Laughter IS the best medicine and I evoke that in myself by giving zero fucks and bucket loads of silliness. I loooove bouncing off other confident souls that radiate that same nature. My other favourite medicines are creativity and spirituality which I infuse into my adventures every day.

I have a magnificent retro campervan named Lluna that my cat and I go camping in most weekends. Soon we are moving into her permanently so the wilderness will be my home! When I travel I'm allllll about the landscapes and creatures so I let the wind take me as far away from civilisation as I can get, especially if it's to rivers and waterfalls.

If you couldn't tell, I'm here to meet kindred spirits. This app has connected me to some fabulous adventures with other vagabonds and I can't wait to experience those yet to come. If you love camping, feeling that sweet flow of socialising and still silence, and saying "fuck yeah" to new experiences, then hit me up! Xx

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I road tripped across the USA in a DIY campervan I made out of a car rental for 2.5 months. Starting in San Francisco, I ventured down California, through Nevada to Arizona, then followed the southern border across to Alabama where I went inland to Tennessee before going back out to Florida and up the east coast before finally reaching NYC. Five years later my mind still blows when I remember all the grand landscapes I was immersed in, especially Joshua Tree National Park. Omggg what a country!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is a constant classroom and exchange of love and passion. There is nothing more satiating than enjoying the simplicity and flow of energy with others. I'm like a moth to flame when I see someone's eyes light up as they talk about their dreams and passions, so I always want to learn about you and what makes you tick. If you're excited then I'm excited, if you wanna teach or share, then I'm there to accept it with arms wide open and I bond best with souls that reflect this openness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My undivided attention. If you want to share time with someone being heard and having fun then I'm your buddy.
