I am kiwi New Zealander Maori from Wellington New Zealand and living in Brisbane since 2008. I own my own home 3 bedrooms and live on my own. Although my grandkids come for a visit and sleepover just about every weekend. They live in Springfield Lakes Brisbane; 2 boys age 11 and 8 and granddaughter is 15 years. I have travelled extensively the world backpacking earlier years and for work as well to most countries Europe, Asia, America and Africa. I am intending travelling to France for the rugby world cup in September October this year and intend to couch surf my way around france.
