What’s the one word to sum up your mood right now?
Excited.
What do you wish people knew about where you live?
I’ve lived in Barcelona for the past four months and love exploring this beautiful city. Something people may not know is that Barcelona is home to 9 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Exploring some of the more remote parts of New Zealand, around the Sounds and I’d love to get to the sub-Antarctic islands to see all the life there. They’re a global hotspot for biodiversity and talking to people who have been there say it’s incredible.
What do you hope/think NZ will look like in 10 years?
I think we have a chance to grow into one of the more progressive countries in the world, to get our cost of living under control, improve our infrastructure and to reinforce why we are all so proud to call New Zealand home. Something not everyone knows is that we have the fourth largest ocean space on the planet and we must step up and look after it as a nation. We have the most special place in the world, but we need to look after it.
