Always had a keen interest in nature! Animals and plants alike. Born in the Netherlands, moved to NZ 23 years ago.
Studied animal management - captive wild animals ( zookeeper) through Unitec and did a course in sustainable rural development ( organic gardening) through NorthTec this year.
Living on a rural property 2.8ha which about 5 acres of native forest since August 2014 has put me even closer in touch with out beautiful New Zealand wildlife. Watching birds around the place is one of my favourite time wasters!
