CURRENT MISSION

To see. To learn. To love.

ABOUT ME

I'm 27, I'm pretty outgoing and friendly. I enjoy a good book every now and then but am a terribly slow reader. I love the great outdoors. Green makes me very happy. So that includes trees, plants, fields, kiwifruit, limes, and apples. And the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I love food. I eat a lot more than I should. I love chocolate. I love ice cream. I love mushroom tempura.I have 2 brothers, I'm the middle child. That makes me the only daughter in the family. My family is great, we all love to run and swim and cycle and rock climb and hike mountains, and play games.I have bow legs.

PHILOSOPHY

Kia kaha. It means Be Strong in Maori. I often forget that I am a lot stronger than I think myself to be.

I admire strong people. When my walls are crashing in on me, I tell myself that I want to be one of those strong people. Kia Kaha.
