ABOUT ME

Hey, Im Amy!

I grew up in Aotearoa New Zealand but have had the travel bug as long as I can remember.
Im pretty easy going and love to meet new people!

I enjoy being around people who can have a good laugh and love going on adventures and chilling out in equal measure.

My attitude to new things is definitely "sure, why not?!"...I guess thats kind of how I found myself moving across the world alone!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will work out so don't worry too much ^.^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being followed around Osaka by a bunch of crazy Japanese camera crews for some random reality show was pretty amazing, and weird at the same time.

Cuba. That was a real trip!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try and teach you the haka (that crazy dance the All Blacks do before they play rugby), kiwi slang/the weird names we have for everyday items, the difference between an Australian & a New Zealand accent!

I can cook for you and am always happy to share whatever little snacks I have on hand.
