I tipu ake au ki te whenua me te rohe o Te Āti Awa
I raro i te maunga o Matairangi
I te taha hoki o Raukawa Moana
Ko Ngāti Pākehā tōku iwi
Nō Kōtirana rātou ko Ingarangi, ko Amerika, ko Tiamana, ko Wīwī ōku tūpuna
Nō te Whanganui-a-Tara ahau
Kei Ōtautahi tōku kāinga ināianei
E noho ana au ki te rohe o Ngāi Tahu
Ko Ngāi Tūāhuriri te hapū kei reira
Ko Abby tōku ingoa
Kia ora e te whānau, beautiful humans! Welcome to my site, Bohemian Humanist. My name is Abby and I am a passionate writer, poet, musician and generally creative creature. I’m significantly weird, and I am infatuated by words and the power that they have. By day I teach teenagers full-time, and by night I spend too much time on social media, read, watch movies and make music. I fancied getting my voice out there… and throwing it into the gaping abyss that is the internet.
I set up this website in October 2016, after discovering my love of blogging when writing about my travels. I hope the content of my site makes you think, makes you laugh, and maybe cry (hopefully from laughter) as I do write some pretty oddball stuff.
The pseudonym Bohemian Humanist is a pretty accurate descriptor of me as a person. I consider myself artsy, hippie-like and socially unconventional, as well as a grounded humanist, with an interest in post-religion spirituality, philosophy and languages. I also have a passion for music, environmental issues and political activism, and I hope I can make some kind of positive difference in this world. I hope you find even an ounce of the joy I feel writing and creating when you peruse my site. Thanks for hanging out, habibti!
