I am a New Zealander born in the North Island and living in the South.

I love the All Blacks and have recorded down which haka they have used since 2005 feel free to use my list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQ3zGKiZxPd2xEEdocQYJdsO4qOmgq8jKZafTiBvBE8-8scKBoU11Zr4wzZC8mncWYTXt8AbG97-l8B/pubhtml

I have always liked the environment, geography and nature.

I have specific interests in New Zealand Trees/plants and animals, specifically birds. It seems like people have been doing a lot of work on the birds articles, so I am concentrating on the plant ones in which there are a lot gaps.

I also like islands (even small ones in lakes etc).

I'm also interested in Māori names for things and getting these correctly spelt using macrons, which many people don't know about.
