I'm a Kiwi living in Madrid. I am focused on living my best life and finding something to enjoy in everyday. The challenge of moving to the opposite side of the world by myself has given me the opportunity to reflect a lot and develop a positive mindset.

I love to play music on various instruments and particularly with other people. Right now I'm mostly trying to get better at improvising but sometimes write my own material when i'm inspired. As such I can't play you many classics but we can have a jam!

I'm easy going and I'm very open to trying new things be they: exploring a different city, various activities or even just food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from around the world, and share culture, language and experiences.
