About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the most of every journey. And win a few bike races.

ABOUT ME

I am currently a student-athlete, I used to be a rower but have recently transferred to track cycling, it's such an awesome sport and I enjoy riding my bike around the world.

Right now I'm in Europe racing for a cycling team. My home is in New Zealand.

I am also studying on the path to become a sports psychologist.
After I graduate, I want to be in a job that can help others learn the tools and skills to help fulfill dreams. In the mean time, I want to travel, race all over the world and spend time with incredible people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first couchsurfed when I went to Vancouver where I was welcomed by a couchsurfer with a place to stay. Then went to Seattle and stayed with an awesome CS'er over there, a year later she came all the way here to New Zealand and stayed with me. Since then I have met lots of couchsurfers and made some great friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once a friend and I cycled 1100km from the top to the bottom of the North Island NZ for charity. That was pretty character building.

Also skydiving was pretty awesome!
