Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission is to explore the Americas as much as possible, mainly Mexico, Central and South America with a little stay in USA. I want to meet as many like minded, crazy, free spirited people as possible along the way :)
ABOUT ME
I am a 27 y/o kiwi girl currently on a solo mission to as many places as possible for as long as possible. I have done a bit of traveling already, through New Zealand, Australia, England, Spain, France, Italy, South East Asia, USA, Costa Rica and Mexico. I want to see and experience as much of this world as i can in my lifetime, basically if its in the world, its on my list :) I am a pretty care free person, meeting new people and experiencing how other cultures live is what keeps me traveling. i often get a bit overwhelmed thinking about all the places i still have to go and have to focus on one thing at a time!! Over the years i have travelled I have learnt so much about myself and life and can't wait to keep growing and learning with each new adventure.
PHILOSOPHY
favourite quote.....'she explained that the part of us with wings often battles with our earthbound selves.' that explains me pretty well :)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am just starting out with the official couch surfing experience, I have crashed on a fair few couches in my time, but mainly through friends or random meetings with lovely people!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The best 'couch surfing' experience i have had was when a friend and I ended up house sitting for a random friend of a friend of a friend when in Portland a couple of years ago, we got to look after his lovely cat and stay in his amazing space all through an opportune meeting with a a friend of his :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music...i love anything live. and will usually be listening to anything from reggae, dub, d'n'b...to blue grass, folk, rock, hip hop, jungle. basically anything goes!
Books are a pretty broad subject too, if it keeps me interested page to page it could be about almost anything!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
ah so many!!! staying at an elephant mahout camp in northern Laos was probably one of the best highlights of one of my adventures, getting to ride, bathe and feed the elephants in an environment where they have been rescued from hard labour environments was pretty cool.
