About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying Wanaka life, working, hiking, kayaking, sunning myself.

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as opinionated and fiesty! My main passions are travelling, biology, environmentalism. You are highly likely to find me talking about random zoological facts, politics and the countries I have spent time in.

I'm quite outdoorsy and like hiking, kayaking when possible, learning to snowboard (and breaking myself) in winter.

Things that probably sum me up:
-If I could live in shorts forever I would, but it's too damn cold
-I drink beer and cider, not wine, and not spirits
-I am more likely to be reading a book on african economics than the autobiography of some daft celebrity
-If you ever find me watching TV, I will be watching an animal documentary or some ridiculous british comedy (not a fan of american "comedy")

hmm. My favorite books are probably Wild Swans, The Girl in the Picture, or Shantaram. All brilliant.

my Fave film is probably terminator 2 haha.

Fave music- anything that's not crappy pop music really. Thrash metal to classic rock and indie to classical music.
