ABOUT ME

Well there's two of us...Jonny and I met whilst living in the lovely country that is New Zealand. We love hanging out with friends, cooking for friends, drinking with friends and generally having the banter with friends... We are sociable creatures!
Both pretty easy-going, Jonny more so than myself :) Have patience for most people apart from those with a small mind and a big mouth... Travel is a huge part of our lives and work usually revolves around this.
We have the travelbug to say the least and have been moving around for over four years now... It's been an amazing experience which has broadened my mind no end and Jonny's too..
We love to laugh and don't take ourselves too seriously...Music and film are two loves of mine, especially as I studied one of em...Jonny is a sports fanatico! Soccer, rugby, snowboarding, trail running...!All topics are open for discussion with us though!

Music, Movies, and Books

We both have an eclectic taste is music, depends on the mood! I am loving the bluesy stuff at the moment like Seasick Steve and Hat Fitz, love Irish trad...Martin Hayes is my hero...love a bit of filthy dubstep in the morning and DJ Shadow to mellow out to...Have been watching Treme so now obsessed with the soundtrack..and New Orleans music scene in general... and love my techno every now and then...Orbital, Underworld, Surgeon and my beloved leftfield..
Jonny ain't a fan of the techno and don't mention DJ Shadow to him :) He likes old time stuff like Jerry Lee Lewis...the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou sums him up nicely. :)

Too many movies to mention, but watching a lot of docs at the moment, Gasland and Good Hair worth a look...

Secret History is one my favourite books...Jonny isn't a massive fan of the auld reading...Would prefer to run around the park.... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jonny's bungee in Queenstown and roadtrip in India....
