Boyfriend and I decided it's time for an adventure, so we've handed in our notice, sold all our stuff and packed our bags. Can't wait to get amongst different cultures and meet new people!

My boyfriend, Kris, is 30 and has been a painter/decorator for 10 years (especially useful if your home has some painting that needs some love!) he's mad about music and plays the bass & guitar and is super laid back,

We got the travelling bug when we camped around the beautiful South Island of New Zealand last year, and we've been house sitting for 6 months, so have plenty of references if you'd like them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because my friends can't shut up about how amazing it is - the people you meet and the unique experiences, nothing like it in the world.

Interests

Comedy - every and all forms.

Peanut butter. Actually all food. Making it & eating it. But mostly peanut butter.

Music - especially live.

Yoga - although my balance is pretty terrible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First time I stood in front of a crowded room and performed comedy felt pretty amazing (afterwards, not at the time - that was a blur).
