Kia Ora! I'm Eryn from New Zealand!

I'm a dread locked rainbow-fringed weirdo who looks a bit punk rock but is totally harmless! I'm Outgoing and friendly. I'm an extrovert and i just love people and find i can get along with most (minus racists, bigots etc).

I really really want to travel the world again, but for now, i have to stay put and save some money - inviting people to to stay is my way of getting the world to come to me! :)

Taking we jaunt in October 2016 to Chile to build houses with Habitat for Humanity and see a few sights.

I've been told i'm funny, and i enjoy making people laugh and spinning yarns.

I'm an artist and crafter, a jammer of tunes, a singer of songs! Love music, art, a laugh.

Currently working long hours at an art studio with adults who have intellectual disability. I am humbled by the artists i am fortunate to work for. I Dig it!
