When I started working at Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre in 1990, I knew very little about Saudi Arabia, except that it had a lot of oil and a lot of sand.
I grew up in a small town called Tokoroa. A town built on pine forestry, farming and sustained by a pulp mill. Conservation and nature was not a key part of the local culture.
There’s something special about the way homes flow in Pāuanui and throughout the Hauraki-Coromandel.
Proud to be Local — brought to you by CFM — is our inspirational feature, highlighting home-grown Coromandel Peninsula folks doing wonderful things out in the world.
Continuing on from Part 1 in which I discussed non-judgement of Thai working girls, I did judge another girl around the hotel pool one day, but she wasn’t Thai.
