Overview
About Me
Before travelling I worked as a staff nurse. I loved my job and met the most incredible people, both patients and other staff. But there's a whole world out there that needs to be explored! So my boyfriend and I packed our bags and haven't looked back.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The best way to learn about a country and it's culture is to experience it through the local people. CS is a great community and so far in the past three years of travel have gained the greatest possible memories with some wonderful people. We have loved hosting in Wellington, NZ but traveling is our passion.
Interests
Reading! I will read any type of book depending on my mood (or what's available in English at hostel book exchanges).
I have been a dancer since the age of 6 though now my dancing is usually only after a few beers!
I became a certified scuba diver in Thailand so now I hope to explore the underwater world and see many beautiful things.
I enjoy learning about the history of whichever country I am in at the time and discussing the views of the people who live there.
Music, Movies, and Books
Oasis ♡ I enjoy and appreciate any genre of music really (though I have a serious love for Northern Soul thanks to my parents!)
Top five movies are; Gladiator, My Best Friend's Wedding, Disney's Hercules, Moulin Rouge and The Blues Brothers
My favourite author is Terry Pratchet (RIP)
