Shayna and Tom here.
We are very happy people, we try to keep everything positive. We love meeting new people and love to share experiences. We understand the importance of personal space, so would never invade to much although we love to get to know people.

I am an insurance consultant and my partner is a department manager in a very popular chain store in New Zealand. I suppose you could call us young professionals :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing as my partner and I have just booked flights from New Zealand to LA and we really want to make the most of our trip, what better way to do that then to save on accommodation.

I think couch surfing sounds like such an incredible opportunity and we would also love to open our home to other fellow couch surfers :)

Interests

Our interests include cooking, Scouting, Family and animals.

My partner and I are recent vegetarians and make some beautiful food, you wouldnt even know there is no meat.

We care alot for animals, we have two wonderful cats, two budgies and to cockateils.
I hope to one day have enough money to open my own animal shelter, and make a big difference to the animal world.

My partner and his family are into scouting. Thomas is a scout leader and I was once a leader for cub and keas. We find so much joy teaching and sharing with our troops.

Family is a very big part of our lives. Tom is from a small close knit family and has two siblings. I am one of seven children. We love to see our family as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

We LOVE movies. anything that can catch and hold my attention, I'm up for watching. Unfortunately I am not a book reader. I wish I was but I am just to fidgety to sit still long enough.
