CURRENT MISSION

life is art, art is life. To take bite sized chunks of the universe understanding it day by day.

ABOUT ME

Seen the world by land and sea.
I used to be a designer and sculptor. I design sculptures for towns and private commissions and other graphic and media jobs.
I also have worked in the movie industry.
I live with my 15 year old son. We are both well travelled.
Though I am a NZ'er by birth I lived away for 22 years and then sailed back here on a Yacht.
Have been here ever since and love the North.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is art, art is life. See mission statement

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just by offering a couch at times that I can make myself available.
If we dont respond its not that we are rude, just maybe travelling ourselves or busy.
Happy to help out with info about the North if needed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly good. But we are not a Hotel!!:)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Will read trashy novels to relax, delve into theory and good literature or flick through Art magazines, and can be caught sometimes reading Classic car, boating, and garden mags. Have eclectic taste in music, sometimes its loud, sometime just to listen quietly, depends on the mood or how many candles are burning. Mostly listen in the car and sing to music when nobody else is there.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Sailed a yacht to NZ from Canada, worked as an artist/designer in Japan for 8 years.
Trekked through Nepal over the Torren Pass at 18,000 feet to Manang and lived to tell.
travelled through India on a Motorcycle.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I work in an art school (now in community arts management)so can sometimes offer activities and facilitate the meeting of interesting people.
