Haha, heya and welcome to PC! Your name reminds me of a character from an anime I really like so that's pretty cool and dandy. :D
I've been living in New York since I was 8 but am from Russia; it's where I was born. I feel much more at home here in NY though given how long I've been here. New Zealand sounds pretty cool.. as the person that really wants to travel, I'd love to go there sometime.
So is there anything in particular you want to do during your stay here? Did you join for X/Y or something else? Either way, you'll have a blast here as we're all very friendly and chatty. Feel free to message me if you'd like someone to talk to - I'm always open. :) Have fun!
