I've just moved to the north island of New Zealand currently in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga. Looking to meet new friends and share travel stories 😊

ABOUT ME

I am at a point in my life where i need answers. Answers to what is happiness, what is the point, what is the BEST way to live my life. I have spent years of my life doing what "society" expects you to do, but now i am constantly questioning whether or not i am on the rite path. Alas i will never be happy unless I answer those questions.

I like to think i am a deep thinker, Compassionate & Caring for those who deserve it.
Trust and Honesty are at the top of my requirements from friends and loved ones.

I love the outdoors, and go mountain biking, hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, scuba diving and just about anything that involves new adventures!

I also have a bit of an obsession with cooking! I love it, Although not the best of cooks but I try :)
I find it so therapeutic just playing some music while prepping all the ingredients and bringing a dish to life.

PHILOSOPHY

Someone once told me "At the end of your life, it's not what you own, it's what you have experienced that counts". Now don’t get me wrong I am as ambitious as the next person and wouldn’t turn down a big salary / lottery win if it was offered to me, but for me and the way that I try to live my life, it’s about experiencing what life has to offer and to be the best that I can be.
