Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Experience life to the fullest, experience new things!
ABOUT ME
Originally from New Zealand. Lived in Vancouver, Canada for the last 4 years.
I'm pretty easy going, and I enjoy meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. I love travelling and this site is perfect for it!
I like to keep fit, I train in martial arts. I like to chill but I also like to party. I'm basically up for anything.
PHILOSOPHY
Kissako. A Japanese zen saying, which basically means "go and have some tea". Its so easy to get stressed out about small trivial things which are usually self imposed. Sometimes we just need to take a step back, chill and go have some tea.
