Words that I am: Friendly, easy-going, adventurous, liberal, silly, totally cool, absurd, mammal. Equal measures open minded and cynical.

I'm 26 years old, loving life and into a whole bunch of stuff, especially sharing genuine human interactions. Studied science at uni, and have worked various sciencey jobbos in NZ and Australia. Currently living in Melbourne working as an Environmental scientist and drinking many a coffee and cocktail.

Passionate about music, nature, arts, and the ocean.

Travel wise, I’ve taken a few trips around the world. I backpacked around India/Nepal with a few friends which was wild and hilarious, been to Thailand, Bali, Japan and New Caledonia. Most recently my gf and I bought a van and travelled NZ in a 4 van convoy to make the most of out home country! Looking to save and travel/move to Europe for a slice of culture.
