CURRENT MISSION

just doin' me. seeing the world, visiting friends, making memories.

ABOUT ME

Been working my butt off/living in London for almost two years - many good times have been had - such a huge city with some interesting characters. Before, I lived in Wellington NZ. Polar opposites!

PHILOSOPHY

Just do you. Have fun. Be fun. There is more to life than just living! Travel :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Usually I like to host people, meet up for coffee/show people around, and crash on a few couches when travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with heaps of people when I was travelling across Europe for 2 months in 2011/2012. I don't think I stayed in any paid accommodation the whole time.

Interests

I REALLY LOVE BAKING AND COOKING - I CAN DO THIS FOR YOU!

I love the arts - music, film and painting in particular.
I'm more into alternative genres and jazz when it comes to music,
and independent films. I paint artworks myself, and love going to art galleries and conversing about all things arty :)

I'm also particularly fond of languages. In fact, probably more fond of languages than anything else in life.
