I'm an easy going kiwi guy who lives in London (have been there for the past 13 years or so). I am big into sports, mainly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which I train and compete in but I also like all other types of things like rugby (am a kiwi so that's pretty much mandatory), surfing and snowboarding. I am a big foodie; both visiting nice restaurants (fancy or street style food - love them both) and also into cooking. I have travelled a lot so very open minded, love meeting new people, making new friends and just generally having a good time. I laugh a lot, dont take myself too seriously and am hoping to meet similar people so figured I'd give this couchsurfing site a try as have heard good things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started my own company (property management in London) when I was 23 and have been building that up for the past 10 years. Having never really taken a break I decided why not and so organised for my business partner and staff to take over all my side of things, am putting a bag on my back and I am buying a one way ticket to the US then will see what happens!

The only plan I have is I will be in San Diego from the 19th of August until the 24th, then on the 25th I am competing in the worlds at jiu jitsu in Las Vegas - after that I am literally going to go where the wind blows me. I would love to check out some of California and then I might head into South East Asia but we will see as I have 4 months to play with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love a bit of hip hop but just as into all the normal popular types of music.

I read a lot; ranging from autobiographies to novels. Don't really go for anything too heavy more a good story or something that is either motivating or inspiring.
