I'm a lawyer from New Zealand currently travelling around Europe and America while I finish my Masters dissertation (on international tax avoidance). For work, I see the darkest sides of humanity. Even so, I am convinced that people are mostly good. I love to travel, see my friends around the world and meet interesting new people and learn about their culture. Like most people from New Zealand, I am very friendly. I'm a nice guy and I smile a lot 😊
