兴趣: I am a 26 year old lover of life from New Zealand, living abroad in Portugal, hoping to share my enthusiasm and positivity with the world! I absolutely love the shared experiences and delight of trying new things when travelling and have been to Australia, USA, Fiji, Cook Islands, UK, Greece, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, France and my absolute favourite, Croatia! One of the reasons it is my favourite is because a lot of Game of Thrones was filmed there and I’m a GoT fanatic (and one of my favourite things to do is watch TV)! If I’m not teaching, travelling or watching TV, I love going to the beach, cooking and eating, playing the drums, reading, or having a good time with my friends and family! Above all I love meeting new people and hearing their stories - I can’t wait to meet you!
