I am an adventurous kiwi girl who loves travel, meeting new people, learning about new languages and exploring other cultures.

I am currently backpacking through Southern Europe - Spain, Italy, Greece and maybe across to Turkey. My friend and fellow Kiwi jamie Harknett is joining me for the Spain league. Jamie is an art history graduate who speaks Spanish, French and English so between us we (hopefully) have Southern Europe covered!

Before I started my backpacking I had been living in Paris for the last 6 months learning the language and working as a nanny. I decided to travel to Europe as a gap year before pursuing further study ( masters of psychology). I am an outgoing, adventurous, food lover always up for a good chat over a cold beverage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing, open-minded people, learn more about their culture and day-to-day life.

I will be traveling through Spain in July with Jamie and then Italy with an Austrian friend in August. During this time I will be staying mostly at hostels but would also love the chance to couchsurf and learn more about local life.
