About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my own fantastic country and celebrate NZ winning the Rugby World Cup

ABOUT ME

My husband and I have just finished the 'travel thing' after spending 7 months traveling around Europe and Africa last year.

We loved getting out and meeting new people, experiencing new things and all the fantastic food that the world has to offer

We are now enjoying just being settled, not having to wear jandals in the bathroom and having a wardrobe and not a suitcase to put all our clothes. I am working in sports and my husband is a dairy farmer

I think we are classic kiwis - hard working, laid back, LOVE RUGBY and keen to show people our beautiful country

PHILOSOPHY

1. No regrets!
2. Give anything a go
3. See the good in everything - theres always a silver lining

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a marathon - quite proud of that

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook so would be keen to try a whole lot of new foods - and even learn to cook them too

Absolutely love my sports - I could teach you about netball, we could share a drink over a game of rugby (also a fav) and I'd love to learn to surf and ski
