CURRENT MISSION

Travelling, volunteering, experiencing, connecting

ABOUT

I am solo travelling, volunteering, learning and developing along the way. I would love to meet locals and learn about your culture and how you see your home town/city. I'd love to share stories, food and tales of past experiences.

I love the outdoors, especially hiking off the beaten track, mountain biking and swimming in the sea. I love adventure, exploring new places and connecting with locals. I enjoy latin dancing and yoga, and am working on meditation.

Some life achievements/highlights include building and living in a tiny house with my ex-partner, completing a 600 km adventure race over 6 days in the NZ wilderness, completing my master's degree and building a career, and travelling NZ while working remotely and then setting in Queenstown after my life completely changed course.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest. Show compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoyed hosting couchsurfers while at university, and stayed with some in Vietnam and Iceland on my last big trip overseas. I've also enjoyed randomly connecting with other couchsurfers in the Philippines and France. More recently I was lucky enough to stay with quite a few CS hosts while on my 16 month travel adventure, including in Turkey and Morocco which was amazing - a true cultural experience!
