The one thing that describes me better than anything else is that I am very bad at describing myself.

Some people have said that I am friendly, always smiling. A bit nerdy, but I still like to meet people. Maybe a little bit shy at first as in New Zealand we meet sheep more often than humans, but will warm up quickly as we get to know each other.

Anyway, I really enjoy travelling, not ticking the bucket list but to see the world. I lived and travelled for 1 year in South America and 6 months in South East Asia. Now I am returning home and looking forward to hosting people and return the kindness I received on the road once I am able to host.
