Tēnā koutou e te Whānau,

Ko Taupiri te maunga
Ko Waikato te awa
Ko Tainui te waka
Ko Waikato - Tainui te iwi
Ko Ngāti Wairere te hapu
Ko Hukanui te marae
Ko Te Tuturu - A - Papa kamutu te wharenui
Nō Tauranga Moana ahau
Kei Tokoroa tōku kainga ināianei
Ko Tori tōku ingoa

Ngā mihi nui.

The names Tori Blanchard-Puke, I was born & raised in Tauranga Moana. Currently living in the small timber town of Tokoroa, New Zealand.

I have recently began this new adventure and I’d love to share it with you.

I am currently an Emergency Medical Assistant on the ambulances here in the South Waikato. The passion & love I have for my career is everything I expected and more. I constantly love what I do and there isn’t anything I’d change.

Except for…..

The minimal down time I have after working shift work blocks. It’s not as cruisey as the “ Four on, Four off “ life style sounds. After doing two 12hr Dayshifts & then two 12hr nightshifts your body and body clock takes some time to adjust. The burnout & fatigue soon kicks in. So I have made it my mission to have the best of both worlds.

The big vision I have for myself & Whānau is to be somewhat financially free & financially stable. To spend that “down time” with my nearest & dearest, to travel to the nearest beach, learn the beautiful language of my native tongue or let out some steam in our local CrossFit gym. However way I want to spend my downtime, I want it to be with no time limit and not be controlled of having to check my work roster. So I have made it my mission to trial and error this theory until I find something that works.

Which takes me to where I am at now; I happened to stumble across a beautiful wāhine over here on Instagram who is currently making an income online by leveraging social media. Along her hunt for a husband, she is now making a difference in lives everyday.

So Whānau, engage with me on this new haerenga of mine (or not) and maybe one day it’ll be you creating your very own website.

Until then xx
