About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My husband (Dion) and I are currently packpacking around South East Asia for four months!! We started in September in Bali where we will spend three weeks in total, then onto Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Laos, Myanmar and maybe some more.

ABOUT ME

This profile is for both my husband (Dion) and I, we are both New Zealanders 36 and 29 respectively. We are currently backpacking South East Asia for four months, starting September 2014!! This is a very new experience for us as we have never been outside of New Zealand and Australia before. One of our favourite things to do is to meet other people from different cultures!! We love to learn about different ways of living, we are both foodies so love to try new and interesting food!! We are not the biggest party goers, we like to enjoy ourselves but still get a good night sleep :) We hope to make many friends along the way and hope that they too will visit us in New Zealand one day :)

PHILOSOPHY

"you must be the change you wish to see in the world"

Music, Movies, and Books

Suspense thrillers would be our favourite kind of movies, we also like a good comedy and you can't go past documentaries!
We both like so many different kinds of music, it really depends what we are in the mood for.
We are both book worms, we believe knowledge is power. We read about a broad range of subjects mostly non fiction, ranging from environmental issues, nutrition, natural health, cooking etc. Dion has read the whole series of Game of Thrones too, and we both love the series on TV.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkelled on the great barrier reef with sea turtles. This experience changed our lives..

Teach, Learn, Share

My biggest passion is cooking, so I love to cook nutritious healthy food and especially enjoy cooking with others. One of my favourite things to do is to go to a dinner party where there are many foreigners and each has brought a dish from their home country!
My husband Dion's biggest passion is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), BJJ is a martial are that is gaining popularity very quickly throughout the world. Dion is very good at his sport and is currently on a mission to train in every country we travel to over the next four months, he is also competing in the Asia Opens in Nagoya, Japan this coming November!
Both of us are trying to learn spanish as we have many South American friends who want us to visit them. We know a little bit of Spanish but mostly just the bad words :) We would love to do a language exchange with spanish speaking people.
