CURRENT MISSION

To brighten someone's day every day

ABOUT ME

I like to joke around and go out often. I love finding bargains at flea markets, vintage/retro shops and hospice shops. I have a passion for travel, culture and adventure

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story if you're willing to listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only couchsurfed once in Barcelona and I loved it, so now I'm paying it forward by opening up my house in Auckland to the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once with a friend in Barcelona and we had a great time drinking, sharing stories and music. Our host let us cook, bake and even let us stay an extra day.

Interests

I'm an novice ukelele, guitar and piano player and play for the joy of it and it helps me understand how hard musicians work. I play football, gym, go for bush walks etc. I also enjoy playing tennis, volleyball and I wish I was a better surfer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading classic books such as Jane Austen's novels, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Jane Eyre; as well as interesting psychology-based non-fiction such as those written by Malcolm Gladwell. My favourite movies are classics like The Good the Bad and the Ugly and The Sting, but I'm into almost anything except horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whitewater rafting past Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe and seeing lions up close on a game farm in Botswana.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of cooking, although I'm not the best chef in the world. I can tell you anything you want to know about chocolate.

"Can you tell me what this lump/bump/spot is?" - Maybe.
