My name is Te Ataahia and my first language was Maori. I was born in the Wairarapa and moved with my family to Petone in the Hutt in 2001. Attending high school in Wellington was my first experience in an English education environment, followed by a year studying in Costa Rica. I consider Island Bay home as that's where I moved to as a tertiary student and an adult. It is also where I met my Italian husband who was living and working there on a work holiday visa. We now enjoy a happy life living between two countries; NZ & Italy, sharing our stories, languages, food, culture and company.
