Easy going, happy & adventurous! Hybrid of New Zealand and the US but have spent most of my life in NZ.
Currently on gap year number 3 - haven’t quite made it to university yet but planning on it at some point in the near future. Trying to pack in as many experiences as possible before then. Always looking for new adventures and new friends :)
The small experience I have with Couchsurfing has been amazing and I’m really hoping to get into it more! I don’t have many references yet but would be happy to video call or talk on the phone beforehand to set things up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Attempting to travel in a less touristy manner and because the people are my favourite part of a new place.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵 Ziggy Alberts, Ben Howard & Hozier dominate my Spotify but there’s a lot of random others on there too. I’m always desperate for new music suggestions and am open to almost anything.
📚 Normal People by Sally Rooney, anything of John Green’s, The Book Thief, HP, VA/Bloodlines - Richelle Mead, J K Rowling (duh).
Again, always looking for recommendations and book discussions are my favourite.
🎥 Any movie if there’s hot chocolate involved in the watching.
