Hi There!

I’m Sarah! A 27-year-old female, seeking all things extraordinary amidst the hustle and bustle of ordinary, everyday life. 🌈✨

I LOVE to travel, and am currently living and working my way across New Zealand, and just returned from a three-week holiday in Vietnam. ✈️🌏

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Communications, and I have a passion for writing, creating, and collaborating. 👩🏼‍💻✏️

A few of my favourite things include books, theatre, getting to know new people, traveling, a cold beer on a hot day, hiking, camping, animals, and anything that gets me out of my comfort zone. 📚🍻

I am an open-minded person with an insatiable curiosity for the world around me. I LOVE learning about new cultures, perspectives, and ways of living. 🗺💛

I hope to meet many new people during my travels, and if you’re reading this, hopefully you are one of them! 🙋🏼‍♀️💕

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing, because as a backpacker it is invaluable to meet and connect with locals who can give me a real sense of the places I travel to. There is no better way to get to know new surroundings, than from a local who is passionate about their home!

As I am currently traveling I am unable to host, but if I ever settle down, I would love to host in the future!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we all have something to teach each other, which is why I love sharing stories, opinions, and experiences with others, especially people who have different opinions than me.💛

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share many good times, memories, and lots of laughter! I also enjoy cooking and cleaning, dog walking, playing games, and am able to pitch in and help in any way possible.
