In Sept 2016 my husband and I became irresponsible adults, quit our jobs and packed our bags. We didn't get back to NZ until Dec 2017. We went where the cheap flights on skyscanner took us and loved going with the flow and meeting new people along the way. I sulk if I have to stay at a hotel because I feel like I miss out on meeting people and really seeing a place. We did 15 months on this trip and loved it! Now that we are back in Wellington we would love to pay forward all the kindness we experienced while traveling.

I spent a large part of my life in New Zealand. In 2011 we moved to London and then in 2013 we moved to Edinburgh (one of the best cities in the world!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To pay forward all the kindness we received on our trip. To meet fellow travellers and locals. Just looking forward to meeting new people to hang out, explore the place, share good food, great stories and many laughs.
