About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Play in the snow in Boston and New York City, while meeting new friends along the way :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old kiwi, trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I'm currently living in Saint Louis, MO and working in a cute little coffee shop across the road from my apartment. I'll be here in the states until next March (2012) when I'm heading back home with my boyfriend/fiance.

PHILOSOPHY

The best things in life are free.
Make the most of every opportunity that presents itself to you, and don't be afraid to go looking for them.

If everyone in this world was just a little nicer to everyone else, it'd make a heap of difference.
