About me
Hey there, I’m a journalist/traveller/not-really-sure and have just finished a year long trip around the world. Now I’m back in NZ I have to figure out what the next step in my life is.. It will probably involve more travel.
NZ is a beautiful place but quite geographically isolated. It is my home and I love it but I want to be away and explore the world for a few years before returning.
In 2010 I lived in Indonesia for a few months, worked as a journalist in Auckland, was happily jobless for a two months, traveled South East Asia for two months, lived and worked in Perth for three months then headed to Europe at the start of 2011.
I’m outgoing, reflexive and philosophical. I love meeting new people, to share and have good experiences with.

That's a good point. I probably will be off again very soon. Where would you go if not NZ? Anywhere is good as you make it I suppose.
