Kia ora & G’day.  Maori/Kiwi chick here.
Witty
Intelligent
Humble (if I say so myself)
Opinionated
‘Bolshie’ (when I need to be)
Intolerant of liars & ‘media whores’!
A tough cookie about most  ‘ISM’s – racISM, sexISM, etc.
Wimpy about other things (spiders & piercings).

Being an only child and only granddaughte​r = SPOILT!! (And LOVING EVERY moment of it!).
LOVE my 13yo son.  Was a young mum at 16yo - No regrets.
HANDBAG-free​! = happily single! (handbag = boy/girlfrie​nd).
Bi-curious (umm, been slightly more than curious!).

Completed my master’s degree this year.
Working part-time. 
Had a wide variety of ‘interesting​’ jobs – some really life changing experiences.​

Open to most music genres; prefer pubs to clubs; socialising with friends occasionally​.

Spent some time in Hawai’i a few years ago.  Taught some basic hula actions - the Merrie Monarch festival ROCKS!  Travelled to Te Pito o te Henua/Rapanu​i/Easter Island – Most of the locals look like my rellies in Aotearoa/New​ Zealand & I could understand about 75% of the Rapanui language!  Would love to go to Taputapuatea​ in Tahiti in the future.

Will post a picture later – when my hair grows back! (see ‘quote’)

Still looking for a rich old geezer with a life-threate​ning heart condition or stroke-prone​, a quick wedding & funeral!  HAHA!  JUST JOKING!!
