My name is Theresa Watene [nee Cranshaw].

I am a New Zealander of English, New Zealand, American, and Irish descent.

I'm happily married to a tall handsome Maori guy. [who is an amazing fisherman].

I am a mother to four amazing children [Mr 16, Mr 14, Ms 10, Mr 4].

I have travelled all over NZ from Cape Reinga in the North to the bottom of the South Island, and to Stewart Island. I have loads of contacts in all areas of Aotearoa New Zealand.

I spent an amazing year in Canada after University, Banff in winter [as a hotel receptionist], Vancouver Island in summer [at my uncle's self-made bungy-jumping site, Bungyzone], and did some awesome trips through Canada and the USA.

I went to New Orleans in 1993 and loved it!

Other highlights were Toronto, New York, Disneyland, Las Vegas, Rosarito - Mexico, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver Island, Nanaimo, Victoria BC, and the Grand Canyon.

I have bungy jumped 10 times: frontwards, backwards, tandem, in the water, out of the water, testing the cord! And every time I was so scared my body let out an involuntary gut wrenching scream - but the high afterwards was pretty amazing.

I have black-water rafted, caved, abseiled, white-water rafted - a few times, been on crazy jet-ski rides, and I have experienced an amazing skidoo trip in Canada, one on my highlights.

I have partied hard in my time! A few years ago now my son who was almost 10 at the time - saw an old uni photo of me and said -" Mum is that you? You look drunk", I said - "I'm acting like I am drunk, doing a good job aye?" - and he believed me. Yes, one day he will know better.

I have travelled to Aussie, Canada, USA, Europe, Bali, Fiji, Hawaii.
