ABOUT ME

hello im 25 and currently living in wellington New Zealand. I grew up in NZ but spent my last year of school,in Latvia, Eastern Europe.Arriving back in New Zealand i went to Victoria University of Wellington for four years.

I still live in the capital working in a processing role for a governement department. I like wellington its a very vibrant fun city. My only complaint would be that i would like the houses to be insulated but that's a common problem. :)

Personality wise, Im pretty relaxed and easy going. I like to laugh and have discussions with different people. I find people fascinating and find interesting how other people think/see the world. Im honest and reliable and generally just like to hang out with awesome people.

I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures and countries. I love to travel. I love to learn (bit of a geek), i like new technology Love to read cook/bake/eat enjoy time with friends and family (skype is amazing!) and do creative things with colourful fabric.

I live on choc and do lots of baking as im gluten intolerant. My brownie is epic!

I love the relaxed way of life and culture in NZ but passionate about getting back to europe and seeing the amazing sights, eating lots of good gluten free food and soaking up the history and cultures of all the different places.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to live each day as it comes and take the good with the bad. I tend to get excited by small wins as i like to celebrate the little things in life I figure life always works itself out and sometimes not how you envision.You may as well enjoy the ride. I like to plan and be organised. Im not sure if i actually expect my plans to work or if i just like the research and often reality turns up different opportunities anyway.
