I am an avid motorcyclist, I have been know to be a bit of a craft beer and coffee snob :)

I was working with industrial robots but don't fear I was given the nickname John Connor and will be helping humanities resistance against Skynet.
I decided I had focused in my career for long enough and quit my job to travel for 6 months and determine what I want to pursue for my next challenge.

I think I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, recently I have been listening to a lot of Hip Hop, I especially like the more alternative/abstract side.

I also find it hard to beat the vibes of a good drum and bass gig!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet like minded people and share experience.
Although I am yet to host or stay with anyone from Couchsurfing while growing up from a young age my family would frequently host WWOOFers (Willing workers on organic farms) through these experiences I have developed an appreciation and enjoyment of meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing and exploring the pyramids of Teotihuacan in Mexico.

Experiencing the beautiful sunset of Punta Cometa.

Before I embarked on my world trip I wanted to see more of my own country so I spent most of my last two summer holidays riding my sportbike around the North Island of New Zealand last summer and around the South Island this year clocking up more that 3000 km on each of the trips.
