I have grown up in Avondale, West Auckland my whole life and hold it dear to my heart. My family and I are from Sri Lanka (Kegalle and Matara).
I decided to go on exchange as I haven’t lived away from home and wanted to try a new experience and travel too! My hobbies consist of reading and traditional dancing.

My name is Malisha, and I will be one of your digital ambassadors,…Continue…
