CURRENT MISSION

Continue making my dreams come true

ABOUT ME

I'm a Kiwi, grew up most of my life in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Lived 3 of my early teenage years in the States with my family where my sister and I attended school and had the best time of our lives and got to travel a LOT.

Completed my University degree in Christchurch at the end of 2012, saved up and bought a ticket to France where I have entered into the incredible industry of superyachts! I worked on a beautiful well-renowned yacht for 16 months until I was ready for a new scene. Currently doing a bit of different travelling until I may join another boat or something else might come up!

I'm a very happy and positive person who believes you can bring into your life anything you desire. I'm pretty much living the dream at the moment and have enjoyed meeting so many new friends already!

PHILOSOPHY

Its about the opportunities and experiences and happiness and people in your life.. and once you've figured out what you want to be, have and do... simply make it happen any way needed!

To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson: 'Be careful what you set your heart on, for it will surely be yours'

Life can be even more incredible than you can imagine!

Music, Movies, and Books

Some fave books are Shantaram, Harry Potters (of course), Veronika decides to die - Paolo Coelo, the Dan Brown series, The Power of Now, Siddhartha, Conversations with God.

Fave movies would be psych thrillers, least fave are horrors/scary. Anything else is great.

Like pretty much all areas of music.. special place in my heart for Chili Peppers and Muse. And simply LOVE all New Zealand music - Six60, Shapeshifter, Kora, Katchafire..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The two equally scariest things I've done in my life are the Nevis Bungy in Queenstown, New Zealand... and a cave walk in Laos. Long story.

The first time I learned to dive was magical. I have to do more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share all sorts of interesting things on New Zealand, such as what areas you'd want to visit for different activities and sights. Plus can make a badass pavlova :)

I've got lots of stories from backpacking around Thailand and Laos.
Also insider information on the crazy industry of superyachts.

I like to help people boost their confidence, and belief in themselves and belief in the universe.

He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!
It is people! It is people! It is people!

Lots of smiles and laughs!
