About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living life as one big adventure!

ABOUT ME

I have just got back to NZ after being gone on and off for the past 5 years! Have been living over in South Korea and then went over to the Netherlands for the last part. It's been an amazing adventure to see Asia and Europe but definitely don't feel I've seen enough! However, I have decided to come back home and put my feet down for a bit... then who knows. I'm busy trying to get my new online biz up and running so it's good to be able to do it here at the beach in Ohope! www.kiwisongbird.com
