My boyfriend and I have moved to New Zealand from Teton Valley, Idaho so that I can complete my undergraduate studies at Auckland Uni.
We are both active, fun-loving individuals who enjoy learning about new cultures and meeting new people.
We both absolutely love being outdoors, especially near mountains for hiking and snowboarding. While couch surfing, we enjoy discussing political and environmental issues, chatting about cultural differences and similarities, and enjoying drinks and food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The opportunity to meet other wanderlusts and build relationships abroad is quite a delight. Seeing a new place with insight of a resident cannot be beat, in my opinion.

Music, Movies, and Books

Thomas Harris and Quentin Tarantino are a couple of my favorite writers.
Anything with reggae vibes is perfect for me! I play all percussion instruments, my favorites are steel drums and marimba.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was the first African-American/Latina to be 1st Chair percussionist in high school district band. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn new languages while traveling! I'm currently learning Spanish and German.
I can share my travel experiences and some of my psychology studies (I was a research assistant in a geropsychology lab for 2 semesters) as well as language acquisition studies (I’m a TESOL/Spanish major currently).
