Biggest Inspiration :
My biggest inspiration is my mother Nikki, she is truly the kindest, most caring, giving woman I know to EVERYONE, she doesn't have a lot but gives and gives to those around her. Not only that is she is just bloody funny and cool to be around, always makes everyone feel appreciate and loved and lights up any room. If I am even have the lady she is I would feel like I had cracked life.
Favourite Eats :

Anything fresh and full of colour and veggies. Loving green curry at the moment packed full of vegetables.
To dine
Masu - again Japanese (can you see this trend!)
Favourite place to visit :
Queenstown - this is where Trent proposed and will always be my favourite place
People you admire in business or in general :
There are so many, right now the people I admire most are those standing up for their beliefs and sharing their views and ideas online. Despite living in a world where so many feel able to constantly tear them down, those that show perseverance and don't give up.
