ABOUT ME

I am very sarcastic like most British people and am interested in most things quirky when visiting a new place. Back in London I tend to attend a range of events from comedy, art, music, cultural festivals so am I keen to see the not so obvious areas when visiting a new place but happy to play tourist as well! I've been living in Queenstown, NZ for the last 3 years and a year in Australia before that. For anyone that hasn't been to NZ before I am more than happy to give you as much information on where/when to go and hook people up with contacts in Queenstown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never used it before and meet many people who say how great it is. Hoping to get some local knowledge in each new places i visit.

Interests

I play a lot of sport, mainly football but I usually get involved in anything outdoorsy like hiking/camping much more since I lived in NZ. I'm quite an outdoors kind of person and worked in Australia as a deckhand on maxi sailing yachts for 6 months. I'm really into stand up comedy to the point of obsession!

Music, Movies, and Books

Goodfellas - My favourite film
Books......I try to avoid novels and stick with books where I am learning something. Although Hitch hikers Guide to the Galaxy and 1984 are firm fiction favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wouldn't say its amazing but learning to sail and then spending 6 months taking people round the Whitsunday Islands on 2-3 days trips was pretty incredible and I would still love to sail between two countries or all the way around one country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to learn about anything and teach English. I have taught English professionally before.
