ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Olivia Parkinson and I'm an instinctual explorer, drawn to new places, people and constantly seeking new adventures, knowledge and experiences. I love nature, music, sport, creating (writing, filming/ photographs, art) and am passionate about working towards a more peaceful, equal world.

I recently arrived in Copenhagen, from New Zealand and will be here for one year as part of my bachelor's degree in cultural anthropology, sociology and international relations.

I am looking to travel as much as possible, especially during summer vacation!
Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet :)

PHILOSOPHY

When I was 5 years old my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life. -John Lennon <3

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Abel Tasman national park, near my home is one of my favourite places, with golden sand and crystal water.

There are also many little moments that I can recall, such as beautiful waterfalls, rivers, temples in Japan and new sights in Copenhagen.

I cannot wait to experience more.
