Summary
I am a 20-year-old from Auckland, New Zealand who loves a good adventure. I am in my 5th semester at AUT on my way to being a paramedic and I am looking for more experience. I grew up swimming and have a huge passion for open-water swimming and my longest swim so far has been 80km which took me 28 hours.
