I love the New Zealand bush and sharing my knowledge about life in New Zealand. I am curious and love to travel, to study Maori and Pakeha culture, to cook, to eat, to paint and to share with people from all corners of the world.

In 2008 I emigrated to New Zealand from the Southern part of the Netherlands. I've  lived in lots of different places on both South and North island, as the Christchurch earthquakes led me to a life of HelpXchange and house sitting before settling down in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
