Currently couch surfing in New Zealand while walking as much as the Te Araroa as I can fit in the next couple of months. I like to balance outdoor pursuits like hiking, surfing and skiing with drinking good coffee and learning more about people, art and culture. A naturally curious person. Likes cats over dogs, blue over red, summer over winter (just).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying in a room in a hotel is boring, isolating and expensive. And it’s harder to meet people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music drives my life - eclectic tastes - other than metal and offensive rap. Movie geek. My favourite current movie was I am love. I am listening to Harry Potter and learning Japanese and reading track notes at the moment. Though recently read a little life and less. Happy to chat about any of these!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I scuba dived in a fish ball.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my love for surfing, hiking, skiing, cooking, art appreciation and engaging in good chats. I am an extrovert with introvert moments. I don’t eat chicken because I have 7 chickens at home and love pickles.
