About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find a couch in Fiji for December lol

ABOUT ME

I have long hair, which gets me frustrated almost all mornings because I get tired trying to put it up, and I dont know about you guys but if your hair isn't looking right then chances are you won't be feeling right all day..lol

I am Samoan, love it! Even tho I am a NZ'er by birth, I moved to Samoa with my mum when I was 6 and I just loved my childhood, playing at the beach, village kids, going to school on a bus with LOUD music, and just being around my grandparents, uncles and aunties was just bliss. The fact that I was the only grandchild living with my grandparents in Samoa was even better lol.. getting spoilt and not having any responsibilties was the best until I grew up and moved back to NZ with my aunty and not knowing how to do anything kind of sucked.. fast forward to now, I can do almost everything apart from baking.. HATE baking.. I can never get the butter and sugar to cream like the pictures or how the recipe says :)

I like to travel, make friends even tho most of my friends are online lmao.. just jokes, maybe like 9 or so online, thats not..too much? right? kidding, I also like to tell jokes, I don't know if that online joke was a good one but i thought it was hilarious, I haven't really traveled anywhere but it is a dream..if only money grew on trees right?

I think thats me in a coconut shell, but if yiu want to know more let me know :D cheers.

PHILOSOPHY

"e ui lava ina ou savali ile vanu o le ata o le oti ou te le fefe lava i se mea leaga, aua o oe ta te fa'atasi ma a'u"

translation: "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for YOU are with me"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am going to be bias and say everything I have done in Samoa is amazing lol, but thats because its true, I have never been anywhere else other than NZ and Samoa and I can honestly say EVERYTHING in Samoa is worth doing and seeing, beutiful locations, beaches and stories/legends

Teach, Learn, Share

The main reason why I joined couch surfing is because my sister and I are going to Fiji for the first time, and trying to figure out where to stay has been quite hectic so far, We would love to stay somewhere where we can also learn about the Fijian ways of living, It is her 21st birthday so we are celebrating by heading over to Fiji, ofcourse it would be lovely to stay in a resort but whats the point of going to a place for the first time and just stayed locked up in luxury? We want to get out there and enjoy the fijian life and experience its culture and see how their way of living differs to ours in Samoa :)
