About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Settled in NZ again for a while now, finally have my own place so a chance to pay back the generosity.

ABOUT ME

I travel a lot for work, and get to go some places I'd never get the chance to otherwise; I love it so much I do it in my time off too!

I'm a 28 year old professional, been in the Navy now for 7 years which has taken me a lot of great places, but I always want more. Before that I was at university studying linguistics, so I have a passion for languages and literature. I love to read and get involved with music and all the arts.

When it comes to the outdoors I enjoy snowboarding (highlight was boarding in Japan), road cycling, triathlon (qualified for 70.3 world championships) and scuba diving.

Love to share a drink and chat about everything and everything.

PHILOSOPHY

Nihilistic but content with that - lazy zen I suppose. (Also I f'n love science)
