Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
3 Years now living in Rarotonga and love living not existing..breathing and living in the moment. Enjoy sharing my cutlture with other like minded people expolring other ways to see the world.
ABOUT ME
I was born and grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. My Father was from Dublin Ireland, and my Mother from Rarotonga in the Cook ISlands where I now live. I am friendly, smiley outgoing and chatty!I love to meet people and share experiences and ideas...really enjoy people with carry on luggage..but baggage..no thanks! Travelling through parts of Europe was an amazing experience and one that has shown me the variety of ways people live and the variety of ways people see the world. Living on a tropical Island is paradise and from time to time I will need to get off and feel the bustle of a big city again knowing that in a week or two or three I can always come back to my little piece of paradise.
PHILOSOPHY
People matter..and people matter to God.I really do believe that people carry something inside them that is meant for someone else. When we get the opportunity to travel and meet others we also get that opportunity to exchange those gifts. Living with the same people with the same view and with the same ideas is stagnating...so it is imperative I believe that we get out there and experience life in its many facets and with people that can challenge the way we think see and feel. I live in the moment, love those who mean everything to me, love my children unconditionally,learn from every experience and continually look for ways to grow.
Interests
I love American Football and have travelled playing American Football through some of Europe. Traveling and meeting new people, and discovering new ways to live and see the world we live in. This is the greatest learning.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love sailing on our traditional Voyaging Canoe..Marumaruatua. Learning to speak MAori, anything to do with self determination and soverignty and traditional tatooing.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Getting off the train at Waterloo station and walking around the corner to see Big Ben and the Parliament buildings..Awesome.
Moving undergound in Turkey in Cappadocia at Derinkyu in underground cities..breath taking..traveling from one side of Turkey to the other..mesmerising..traveling in a cab on the left side of the road..scary as hell! Finishing work in London at 330 pm and its dark already..depressing! Growing up in Auckland New Zealand a privilage and now living in the Cook ISlands a dream come true!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am open to learning about others..to exchange the gift of life's experience and take that gift and then exchange it again.
