I am originally from New Zealand and feel like I have hardly stopped travelling since I started in 2017 :) I lived in BC, Canada for a couple of years then and fell in love (even more) with the outdoors and getting amongst it. I normally work as a tour guide, changing roles with seasons which has bought me to do some pretty fun things, from snowmobiling and quad biking to airboat driving and nature drives. I love the outdoors and wondering what the next adventure will bring.
I’m a friendly and clean, easy going person and love to meet other people and hear their stories :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to stay with people who live in the areas that I visit, to meet different people and understand a different way of life. The experiences I’ve had are so much better than at hostels and I love to hear other people’s stories and learn about their lives :)
