About Me

CURRENT MISSION
John has just embarked on a trip through Europe, before we both move to Bougainville to volunteer with VSA.

ABOUT ME
We are both ecologists, with backgrounds in Ecology, GIS, Environmental Studies, and a bit of maths thrown in too for good measure. We are a New Zealand couple who love the outdoors, as well as good music, great people, wine and bonfires. We are very easy-going with a good sense of humour. We love camping, mountains and beaches, but equally like watching live gigs or talking nonsense over a wine or beer with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

My dog has the right idea
