Hi!

I'm Erin, a music therapist living in Wellington New Zealand. I'm about to go back to uni to teacher train. It's all very exciting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want the world to be open to more people, without the exorbitant barrier of costly hotels.

It's so much more interesting meeting and knowing real people.

I haven't travelled for soooo long - I haven't left the country for 9 years! And I really really miss the travelling community. I would like to meet more international people here, and I am desperate to travel too.

Interests

I love tramping, rock climbing. I want to learn to paraglide. I enjoy reading, talking philosophy, making useful things like hammocks and hats and cider, vege gardening, cooking. I sing in a choir which I love.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch so many movies but enjoy festival style movies and kids movies. Recent favourites are the minions and the Belier family. Favourite books of all time would be Phillip Pullman's 'his dark materials'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Work as a music therapist for four years. It has been such a privilege to make music with such a range of people. Especially to share such focussed intimate communication with people who do not speak.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to help out in your home with children or gardening or tasks. I really enjoy gardening, and decorating, and cooking. More than happy to help with language learning. Most of all I look forward to sharing conversation and some company.
