Juliet Boone wants to add adventure and fun to people's lives.
This week's Newsmaker is Juliet Boone, creator of Singles Adventure Mates, a new website which connects single professionals in Rotorua.
Tell us about yourself:
Ah the worst question ever to try to answer. How about an anagram: Just. Unbelievably. Likeable. Interesting. Entertaining & Talented. Take note of the 'unbelieveably' bit.
How
did you get into your career?
A friend just sent me an email, laughing, that I have created a whole business just so that I can find love. Hmmm. Well I suppose it helps that I have had a lot of experience at being single. I guess I am such an unbelievably likeable, interesting, entertaining and talented person, that no one wants to go out with me. Oh hang on that doesn't make sense. I might have to take another look at my profile.
What do you love about your job?
I enjoy outdoor pursuits, artistic pursuits, trying new things. I have been involved in organising festivals and events and I have also worked in areas that are about helping others such as teaching, mental health, and aged care. I have decided that what works for me is to combine them all: to have adventure and fun, while contributing in a way that makes a real difference to others. Singles Adventure Mates I think will satisfy all these things.
What have been your biggest achievements?
Honestly, being a mum for the last 12 years! Also paying bills, doing house maintenance, having a job, that kind of stuff. Sometimes I freak myself out when I think about the responsibilities, but then I tell myself to be quiet and just keep going, it's worked out so far.
