About Me
I have only been editing and creating articles since quite recently and am not very good at it so far!
More about me, I attend Karamu High School in Hastings and I live with my Mum and little brother. I was originally born in Wellington, New Zealand and then moved to St Albans in the UK. After returning to New Zealand, I attended Havelock North Intermediate and won the Hawkes Bay Science Quiz, Hawkes Bay Science Fair and other awards within the school. After two years at Intermediate I moved on to be a year 9 at Karamu High School where I am at the present. My Ambitions are to be a developer and property developer in the greatest city in the world, Los Angeles, CA. I have been to 16 countries and Los Angeles 11 times alone, so yes I have been there and I am dying to go back there and stay there. A cool but useless thing I can do, I can do accents and dialects from just about anywhere in the world, I just have to perfect my Carribbean, Indian, Japanaese, German and Arabian accents, but I can still do 3 english, 4 american, 3 new zealand, 2 australian accents, and yes I can understand some Singlish and Manglish. My favorite stuff includes food, especially Tacos, pavlovas and Dr Pepper which is really hard to get in New Zealand. I also like rock music, especially Indie, synth and acoustic. My favorites are Good Charlotte, Green Day, INXS, Coldplay, The Gorillaz, U2, Franz Ferdinand and my absolute favorite, The Killers. I like movies too, my favorites are Head of State, The Day After Tomorrow, The Matrix, Fahrenheit 9/11, SuperSize Me, Lilo & Stitch, The Emperors New Groove, Mission Impossible 3, Are We There Yet? and some others. My favorite places in the world are definitely Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Wellington, Vancouver, Seattle and Kuala Lumpur. Yes I have traveled much and have been to these places in my 14 year lifetime:
- Australia (x2)
- Austria
- Malaysia
- Germany (x2)
- France (x3)
- Switzerland
- Spain
- Italy
- UK (resided there for 4 years)
- NZ (resided there for 7 years, now in Hastings for the last 3)
- ChinaChina (x2) (and only Hong Kong which was after 1997)
- USA (14, 11 LA alone)
- Canada

Me and Wikitravel
I love wikitravel, it is by far the best travel guide and place encyclopedia ever, more articles than I can count and by far the most detailed also, I'll try to revert vandalism and fix poor edits but I will spend most of the time getting pics of cities from here, Wikimedia Commons should win the award for the best ever photographs of cities, I love the huge panorama of Hong Kong. The only thing I hate is when people revert my fantastic edits and pages, NEVER FIX MY EDITS!!
My Fabulous Idea
I think Wikitravel should link articles with the Wikipedia place articles for more general and factual information, so that Wikitravellers have a much better understanding of the place, would help if you could link the articles to Wikipedia places, thanks!
