CURRENT MISSION

To travel and eat like kings do.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in South Auckland, NZ. My family are originally from the beautiful island of Samoa. I'm a firm supporter of homegrown music and try to share this with anyone that'll listen, because of this, my financial status is always glum, due to all the gigs/festivals in Summertime.:)
I work to save, save to travel and travel til I'm broke, then repeat the cycle. Back home long enough to save up again,(survive the rugby world cup>DONE), and then it's onto the next... South America!!

PHILOSOPHY

The four fundamentals in life: To live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy.

兴趣

I 'inhale' music. Can't say that I sing or play any instruments(well) but I'm all for listening and dancing to it.Before I was forced to start saving in order to travel, I loved going to gigs, nz music rocks my world.
Great reads, always on the search for books that inspire and entertain.
