Hello!

I'm a friendly Kiwi girl from New Zealand's North Island. I went to university to become a primary school teacher and have been teaching for almost 3 years now. I enjoy being outdoors, sight-seeing, reading, doing art projects with children, socialising and working with people - to list a few!

I am excited to take a break from working this year to explore the world. My parents are originally from the Netherlands and so I look forward to return to Europe and spend time backpacking around other countries I have not seen before.

My friend Ashley and I are travelling together and are excited to join Couchsurfing. Our main goal is to experience new things and meet awesome people while travelling to different countries around the world!

We would love to hear from you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ashley and I are excited to join Couchsurfing as it seems like a great way to learn about new cultures and ways of living. We love meeting new people, sharing stories and experiencing new things!
