Age: Seventeen
1. This is actually a really hard one for me. I was born in New Zealand and lived there till I was about 8 after which I moved to Australia, so I don’t really consider myself Australian, in fact I feel more at home in Kuala Lumpur than I do in Melbourne. I guess I’d have to call myself a Kiwi if anything. I’ve spent so much of my life there, and feel a real connection with the land and people.
2. My family has been living in New Zealand for a really really long time. Some of my mum’s ancestors actually owned and were on the first boat of settlers to New Zealand. They were from a wealthy Jewish family in Germany. We also found out that we are descendants of Vikings, which I think is pretty cool.

3. I was raised in a very Roman Catholic family. I really appreciate the life values and love that being part of that religion has taught me, but at the moment I am trying to learn as much as I can about other world religions.
4. If you look at my instagram, you can probably tell that I am loving muted purple tones at the moment. I find them so calming. When I was younger I had a deep infatuation with the colour green. I wanted green hair, and even made my mum die my milk green.
5. I am currently completing year 11. At school I take French, English, Global Politics, Classical Studies, Psychology and Legal Studies. I hope to go to university and study Anthropology, Global Politics or Human Rights law.
6. I am really passionate about learning. I know that is really broad but it’s so true. Not necessarily in the context of school, but I just have such a passion for learning new things. I love learning about current events, history, the way people think, different cultures anything. It just always excites me to have new knowledge and perspectives
7. Always be seeking out new knowledge and ideas. Just read widely and watch documentaries. Its amazing some of the things you can learn without textbooks and teachers.
8. "Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny space you occupy in the world." - Gustave Flaubert. I found this quote on the instagram of one of those insta travel models the other day and it really resonated with me. At my school I know a lot of people who have never even left Melbourne, and some of them really don’t seem to understand how little they are.
9. I hate it when people hate on tofu! If you don’t like tofu you probably just haven’t had good tofu. Also the fact that people always seem to think I’m a judgmental person. Like so many of my friends don’t tell me things cause they’re worried I will judge them but I am actually probably the least judgy person like ever.

10. Ugh I have so many man crushes. Jim Morrison is probably the biggest. He was so talented at making music and the way he performed was so passionate. Also Sodapop Curtis in The Outsiders…. Actually pretty much all of the guys in The Outsiders.
11. I love Stevie Nicks cause she was so cool and her style was so awesome. I also think Emma Watson is awesome cause she didn’t let success deter her from getting educated and she is actively involved in trying to make this world a better place
12. Trashy teen TV shows like the 100, Teen Wolf and Gossip Girl are my biggest guilty pleasures!
13. I’d love to live in the late 60s or early to mid 70s. Not only was the style completely incredible but it was also a period of great social change. I can totally see myself being involved in freedom rides and mass protests!
14. 3 things I can't live without is Travel, photographs and lavender essential oil.
16. favourite instagramer @gypsea_lust has the most amazing travel instagram and every time I look at her feed I really just want to get on a planeI’m also seriously addicted to @mimielashiry ‘s feed and her awesome style. My absolute favourite instagram is @jessybreen . not even joking I always love Jessy’s instagram. I think it’s one of the only accounts I have post notifications on.
17. My greatest struggle is motivation to stay in school honestly. If it weren't for the whole ATAR getting you into university and jobs and what not I'd be out already.
18. what makes me bored? people lecturing me about things they have no knowledge or education on.
19. I think I handle criticism pretty well. I usually get a bit annoyed and stuff at the start but I've become pretty motivated so I use criticism to make me work harder.
