CURRENT MISSION

I've been hosted by some incredible people around the world and would like the opportunity to give something back to my fellow travellers

ABOUT ME

I'm from Scotland, spent 3 years living in the Netherlands when I was young (in Harmelen) and did one of the years of my law degree in Nijmegen. This sparked my passion for travelling - after uni I lived in Australia for a year, travelled through Thailand on my way and Singapore on my way back. I then worked as a recruitment consultant in Scotland for a couple of years before deciding that 12 hour working days are not for me and so took a qualification in life coaching. I then followed my own dream of living in NZ - travelled through South America for a couple of months on my way here (Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru) I now coach part time (and work full time as a legal administrator as a means of getting residency). I also teach salsa choreography for couples getting married. I've lived in Auckland for three years and absolutely love it.

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you focus on. So every morning I focus on what a fantastic day i'm going to have and every day is fantastic. As a result, I'm an extremely happy, positive person.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite film of all time is "La vita e bella" (Life is Beautiful). Its breathtaking.
I love all sorts of music (I'm not a big fan of dance) and what i listen to depends on my mood and where i am - classical when I need to focus at work, RnB or salsa on the dance floor, tango for walking to work in the mornings

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled solo for two months through south america - the most incredible experience of my life in terms of the places I saw, the other travellers I met and the cultures I experienced.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Life coaching, salsa, french, piano (don't have the piano yet but getting one soon)
