ABOUT ME

I am a travelling gal.

Like most people I enjoy reading and listening to music.

I also like sitting down and watching a good film.

Eating food is a passion of mine also.

As is meeting wonderful new people and being around people who like to have fun and act the fool.

Since I uprooted myself from NZ in November 2007 I have been travelling around Europe and enjoying all the different cultures. I just cant get enough!

Books: I like most of what I read but so far only two books have stood out as BEST READS. The Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting on a plane and flying 36 hours to a place I had never planned on going to meet a person I had never met before.

Teach, Learn, Share

hmmmm I can teach people how to do the dishes? I actually really enjoy cleaning but not when it is forced upon me. I suppose I could master a new zealand famous recipe or introduce you to my most favourite music and books and films. I can tell you a bit about new zealand and share my knowledge of art history (maybe).I am always up for learning new things. new recipes. traditions. skills. music. books.films.languages.
