CURRENT MISSION

Making the most of my house and garden, and as many mini holidays as I can get away with!

ABOUT ME

About me... I'm 33, I work at an organic/wholefood shop, into all (most?) things green and eco, photography, knowledge, conversation... nothing I love more than a good book and a strong coffee... bit of a foodie, bit of a nerd... what else can I say?
I love spending time in my large wild garden, it seems like there is never quite enough time to get it all in order... so if you want to help out by pulling out a few weeds or moving some compost or planting some seeds, I'd be happy for the help!
I'm probably not as much of a hippy as you think...
If you want to stay with me you need to be open minded, inquisitive, intelligent, and queer friendly!

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply.
(I aspire to that)

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a voracious appetite for books. Please give me a recommendation!
My tastes in music are varied, currently loving Hurray for the Riff Raff, Jolie Holland, Gillian Welsh, Meshell Ndegeocello, Belle & Sebastian, Townes van Zandt, Calexico, Smog.
I watch a movie once in a while, but don't often make the time for it. Brit comedy often a winner, and starting to get interested in Dr. Who.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in the Australian desert for a year and a half. Amazing or pure madness, I'm still not sure which.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share eco-living, sustainable, gardening, cooking skills... plenty of knowledge about places to go and things to do in Nz, I'm interested in everything and would love to hear about what you're passionate about. :-)
