Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm a happy, energetic and motivated 23 year old from New Zealand, travelling around Europe for approx 5 months. I grew up on a small farm just outside of Auckland, then studied Marketing and Management at university in Wellington, New Zealand. Last year, I moved over to Melbourne by myself for a change and worked in a not-for-profit intermediary as a Marketing co-ordinator.

I love writing, reading, drawing, painting and cooking and just about anything that's out of my comfort zone (I've sky dived four times!).
I'm my happiest when I'm doing something new and enjoy being around people and creativity.

I love children and spend lots of time with my 6 year old cousin back in Melbourne. I also love connecting with people from all walks of life and hearing stories (I've got some good stories of my own too!). I can't wait to experience cultures and experienced that I've only ever dreamt of - and look forward to documenting these experiences through writing and art.

More details about my language interests
I speak fluent English and am interested in learning any languages - but have (very) basic Spanish and would love to learn more as it feels natural to me. I also have some understanding and basic language of the New Zealand native language - Te Reo Maori.

More details about your skills

I love getting hands on (I grew up around chickens, cows and sheep - and a father who is a landscaper), doing anything creative (painting, writing, creating, cooking), and playing and caring for children. Food and new experiences bring me joy and I'm up for anything and everything! I have lived independently since I was 12 (boarding school, with friends at university and in Melbourne) and have a lot of initiative when it comes to getting on with things. I love talking and connecting and look forward to meeting lots of new people and exploring your cultures and experiences. I have experience tutoring at university and would love to share my English language if required.

What else ...

Before overlooking me because of my age (23), I hope I'll surprise you with my maturity, knowledge, and openness to new experiences. I've had a lot of life experience built from travelling and living away from home and look forward to sharing these experiences - and learning about yours!
