I’m Snez. 18 years old. I was born in Serbia and lived in Uzice until I was six. In 1996 I moved to New Zealand and have been living there ever since, I consider myself a Kiwi and love this country more than any other place on this Earth.

I suffer from arachnophobia which means I’m terrified of spiders, and yes, I do mean “suffer”. When catch sight of a spider near me (or sometimes just discuss them) my heart starts to beat fast and my palms sweat. I’ve endured many sleepless nights because of them.

When I’m excited/worried/bored I squeeze my hands together and make a squealing noise. Sometimes I just let out looooong grunts. I’ve been doing that for as long as I can remember. If I’m in public I just do the hand-squeezing. Don’t judge.

Oh, and I enjoy sewing and crocheting. I’ve crocheted about a million hats and scarves and thrown most of them away because I have no need for them. Ah well, it’s practice.

Things that I love
