About Me

I'm a 20-something New Zealander, currently hanging out in Belize. My future travel plans include exploring Central America, working for a time in Canada, and then? Who knows.

Music, Movies, and Books

I could talk all day about music so let me just list some artists - The Mountain Goats, Sigur Ros, Bjork, Placebo, Feist, The Smashing Pumpkins, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac... Let's leave it there for now.

Movies? I like bitter-sweet love stories :P Think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 500 Days of Summer, Once... I'm also a giant nerd who loves superhero movies, sci-fi, and Harry Potter.

My favourite book of all time is probably The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. My other loves include Harry Potter, The Graveyard Book (Neil Gaiman), and Dorothy Parker's poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Iguazu Falls in Argentina - holy wow it is the most breathtaking place!

Swam with turtles in the Caribbean Sea :D

Stayed in a super-religious commune in upstate New York. I'm not religious, but it was an incredible, eye-opening experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm well my main skills are singing, flute-ing, and knitting... Not sure how good I'd be at teaching any of those but I can always try!

I also make a mean brownie.

I'm currently learning to cook a wider variety of things, for bigger groups of people than just lil old me.

Keen to learn everything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been travelling for just over six months so far, so I have a lot of stories to share.
