About Me

I am interested in people and environment. I like to listen and to talk. I like quiet natural parks and vibrant festivals. I like to cook and to eat.

I have been in NZ since 2016. Found myself a kiwi and made 2 baby kiwis (1 and 0 at the moment).

We will travel to Europe April-August 2023.
