About Me

my name is LUKE i'm 27 and from NEW ZEALAND, I grew up in Te Kauwhata . I am currently living in West Auckland/Waitakere City but i've also lived in Hamilton, Paeroa, Pukekohe, Brighton(UK), Crawley(UK), Egypt and London.
I go to shows. I love to travel. It sounds cheesey but i do. I wanna go to spain, slovakia, czech rep, denmark, israel, iran, brazil (and other south american countries), all the pacific island groups but i also want to go back to Mexico, Italy (hopefully to live), UK, Lebanon, Syria, Malaysia, Singapore. There's a lot more places i want to go though.
I really love languages. My favourites are Italian, Spanish, Aramaic, Hebrew (including ladino, samaritan), Arabic (ana ma batklimish 'arabi), Greek, Basque, and others.
Yeah i'm christian- but i'm of no specific denomination. i dont care much about that stuff. i just try and follow, worship and serve Jesus to the best of my ability but often doing a miserable job of it.
