About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ride a Zebra

ABOUT ME

I have found new joy in travelling. I have recently arrived home from America after spending 5 months there. First 9 weeks were spent as a horse riding instructor at a summer camp in North Carolina, The next 2.5 months were spent making my way toward LA.
I love camps, hence the reason I went over. Its been a big part of my life, attending as a camper, leader, cousellor etc. I love working with all ages of children and seeing them laugh, be challenged and see growth in a short period of time.

I love animals. I have had horses, cows, pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, gunnie pigs, chickens and currently have cats, sheep, a horse and a dog.

I love to surf, or try anyway. I Prefer long boarding but I dont get to go enough even though I live only an hour away from the beach.
My favourite sufing times are with my friends at Port Waikato, NZ.

Im into the youth group with my church. I try to get them involved in the church as much as possible and make sure they feel welcomed.
I play the bass guitar for the worship team.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went over to the States not wanting to leave until I had seen the statue of liberty, the Niagara falls from america and canada, Mt Rushmore and the Grand Canyon.
Now that Ive learned so much more about what there is to see and do, Id love to come back and buy a car to travel around in and see all the National Parks. Ive seen the Badlands National Park at sunrise, Elk in motion at Yellowstone National Park and made a snowman at Glacier National Park.
