Hi there! I am spending a year in Aotearoa with a working-holiday visa looking for opportunities to explore the outdoors, connect with interesting people, and learn about this country’s history and rich culture. I recently graduated with a degree in environmental science and am passionate about sustainability and social/environmental justice. I love to cook, play music, hike, rock climb, and am so excited to meet you!
