I've been working as a policy analyst for a few years now, after an extended university degree that was broken up by travel to some amazing places. I have less time now, but still love getting away when I can. In September this year I'll be moving to Berlin for a while, and would love to meet some locals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People make the place for me. I like the idea of seeing how people experience a place living in it, rather than just visiting. And since I'm usually travelling alone, it's nice to meet people!

Interests

I like food (eating and cooking), dancing, tramping and reading. I'm interested in history, politics, languages, feminism, development theory etc etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all these things... I've just read the first book of the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante, and am really looking forward to starting the others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking 100km in 30 hours around Lake Taupo to raise money for Oxfam.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always happy to cook a nice meal and share a bottle of wine.
