Born in New Zealand, with a Father of mixed ethnicity (Scotish, Irish, American, German, French, Chiness) and Mother of Maori and European decent. I have always been passionate and intrigued by other cultures and their way of life. I come from a beautiful small place on the north coast of New Zealand called KeriKeri in the sunny Bay of Islands, surrounded by the best coastlines, greenery and scenary that my country has to offer. I feel at my best when surrounded by the ocean but also very open minded within the forrest/bush as I have both terrain within walking distance of my house.
