Description

Hey there! :)

I am looking to connect with other people + hosts, to learn more about their language, their culture and exploring beyond the horizon!

Open to all new experiences and opportunities. To put yourself outside of your typical environment and comfort zone is to learn more about yourself and the world around you, which is a truly wonderful experience.

Regretfully, I am not fluent in a second language (yet). Here in New Zealand it is not prioritized to be competent in languages other than English and it is not emphasized enough through the current education system.

My long term aim/goal is to learn more of other languages through travel and speaking with locals/native people. This is the most rewarding and authentic way to develop my vocabulary in other languages. Though it is not easy, the more you practice, the more you develop and in time it becomes easier. That is true of a lot of things in this world.

While I enjoy living in New Zealand, it is in reality just a small dot on the corner of the globe.
I know there is so much more to see and to accomplish further out there!
Travel from New Zealand, being so far away, is more challenging and requires more planning. I hope to make connections and networks on here in order to be able to make travelling easier and more rewarding in future.

If you travel to New Zealand, I may be able to help you out, or at the very least give you some useful advice. You may be able to do the same for me also one day. I feel as though it's important to help others wherever possible. Then people are more willing to help you.
Its a bit like 'Paying it forward' (the movie.)

To be honest the things that motivate me and bring me the most happiness are the simple pleasures. Waking up to the sound of the birds, a crisp sunny day, making a fresh cup of tea/coffee, going for a run/bike, maybe even a swim in the ocean (when it is warm enough.) Making a great meal for yourself/others, a good novel, seeing a friend after a long time. All of those little things are wonderful and make a big difference in having a positive outlook on life.

I hope that you may see this and make contact, if you wish. I am happy to answer any questions you may have :)
