Profile
I was born in Dunedin, New Zealand.
I moved to Australia in 2000 and worked and partied in Tropical Port Douglas for 4 years where I spent my time sunbathing, snorkelling and exploring.
In 2004 I moved to Brisbane where I met my partner.
He was on a world trip from England.
I am now living in the UK with him and travelling around Europe. I have visited Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Wales, Scotland and England so far.
