CURRENT MISSION
I quit my job in New Zealand to explore the world for five months and find the hidden joys! So far, I've spent 5 weeks in Bali, a month in Nepal, and currently I'm in Berlin! Soon going WWOOFING in Lecco, Italy. I want to be introduced to beautiful, inspiring people, so I may learn from them how they are living, and I can in turn share my experiences of living a full and wondrous, creative life.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly open person who enjoys meeting new folk. I like to do spontaneous silly things like dancing in the kitchen or in supermarkets. Truly love having hearty conversations.

I write a lot, both creative writing and writing stories for organisations. here is my blog if you would like to read https://zestofwords.wordpress.com/

PHILOSOPHY

Making connections with people - whether they are momentary or long lasting - is one of the most important things for me. There is so much to learn from these kind of interactions and they are always points of reference for future meetings. İ think bringing people together over meals of delicious food and taking the time to be with your friends and family is so great! Spending time alone is also something İ treasure as enjoying personal interests is key to learning. Also! Swimming in the ocean or walking in the bush!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hosted when İ am able to over the years. İ like couch surfing as it is a chance to learn inside thıings about a country or place which can sometimes remain a mystery.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My current couch surfing story is a goodie! My friend and İ have been hosted by a man in ıstanbul who in the year previous hosted a mutual friend from NZ. Our host is lovely and the experience has been based upon a mutual wish to learn about each others country and to find the connections through our mutual friend.
