Description
Kia Ora (hello)!
I'm Wiremu Hohaia, a Māori and part Dutch traveller from New Zealand. The past 17 years, I've been living in Australia where I studied Cognitive Neuroscience and worked in laboratories and medical manufacturing. Part-time, I worked as an artist, exhibiting and selling paintings and merchandise.
Some general interests: Photography, music production, DJ'ing, painting, ceramic art, skateboarding, scuba diving, poetry, hiking, food, science, philosophy, cultural diversity, reading and writing, nature, as well as cities.
I value very highly, minimalism and contentedness above abundance and happiness. I don't require much to fulfil my life. This has lead me to favour solitude, nature, and simple living. I am very interested in eco living, permaculture, and DIY. I often dream about one day producing my own honey, to spread on my homemade bread, upon a chair I'd made, before a landscape that warms me inside. A blank canvas waits for me to finish breakfast. I see my time during Workaway stays as a time to learn essential skills to setup my own home one day.
I look forward to meeting you. Chances are, you may become the subject of a painting, photograph, poem, or may inspire a compositional piece of music.
Warm regards,
Your personal artist.Centres d’intérêt

OUTDOORS:
- House renovation/DIY (in New Zealand, our family would renovate houses).
- Woodwork skills (in high school, I studied woodwork).
- Farming (some experience in New Zealand on family farms with cattle, sheep, lambs, pigs, chickens)
- Fruit orchards (one of my favourite destinations, my grandfather's mandarin orchard. He taught me a lot, mostly the value of caring for your fruits).
- Classic car restoration (I restored my first car with my dad, an 1965 Wolseley 24/80).
- Gardening (my parents have a small amount of land with flower and vegetable gardens and chickens. I often help them).
INDOORS:
- Cooking (I was training to become a Chef. I stopped half-way through to go to university. Though my passion for cooking has remained).
- Sewing (My mum was a dressmaker when she was young. I became interested in fashion in high school. I would make various garments for myself and gifts to others).
- Painting (I have been making art since I was 6 years old).
- Poetry (Poetry is interesting for me, because I enjoy finding the exact words that best convey emotions. I recently published a small poetry book).
- Videography (in high school I studied film and television, where I learnt how to create a narrative using videos).
- Computer programming (while working in labs, I learnt how to program experiments. This biggest lesson I took from this, was an appreciation for logic-based reasoning).
- Skateboarding (I have been skateboarding for 7 years. For some of that time, I was coaching children).
- Course tutor (I love teaching. I worked as a course tutor at university for a couple years. I taught computer programming, topics on sensory neuroscience, and statistics).
- Computer skills (I learned essential skills at university on topics of data visualisation, statistics, and academic writing).
- Electronic music production. (I have been producing music for around 4 years. I have released 2 singles and an album on international record labels).
- DJ (the past 2 years, I have been occasionally DJ'ing in Brisbane City, Australia. I'm always interested in sharing these experiences with people).Âge
