About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To avoid work for as long as possible ...

ABOUT ME

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

I love poetry, and a glass of scotch, and, of course, my friend Deany and Wayney here.

My motto's always been, "When it's right, it's right" Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If/when we get our own rented place in NZ we will make that available but I will openly make myself available to any questions fellow surfers may have about the places I have or I will be visiting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The following is based on actual events. Only the names, locations and events have been changed.

Probably the most eventuful experience was when I crashed at a friends place in Florida after camp. He was a cool guy and his parents were legends but thats another story.

One night we happened to try and walk back from Florida's night scene after a few random drinks. Using my in built human atlas GPS track and retrieval skills I navigated us to the correct address but it inculuded a slight detour in a schools grounds and into their Olympic pool for a few laps.

Not that exciting thinking back ...

Music, Movies, and Books

"Last time I looked in the dictionary, my name's Ron Burgundy. What's your name?"

"He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it."

"All I ask for when I pray,
Steady rollin woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing sunrise and well worth the ordeal we made out of the unprepared hike.

Also saw a whale shark once while scuba diving. It was a bit of a big en ...
