About Caffeinated Weka
I live in Wellington, New Zealand. I love being surrounded by a good coffee culture and have proud weka roots. I enjoy this city's vibrant café scene and was formerly known as Café Chick. I'm into reading, music, baking, dancing, family, eating out with friends, travel and sunshine, so that's what you'll hear about along with whatever else takes my fancy. Join me with a cup of coffee, say hi and let me know what you think.
