ESTP / ENTP depending on my mood.

The first thing you'll notice about me is my sexy eyebrows and the slightest twinge of English to my accent.

Sailing into the sunset when I can. I've seen a fair bit of the world from the land and sky, soon I will be the fiercest pirate in the Spanish Main. Be present, enjoy the journey and escape the rituals of daily life.

Constant forward motion is the plan. "A man must constantly exceed his level." - Bruce Lee. I read a lot of non-fiction, I'm learning Spanish... might be easier with a conversation partner. Attempting to find balance in my life with meditation and introspection.

The six things I could never do without are:
A new New Zealand flag
Weed
Bottled condiments
Backup pillows in summer for when one 'cool side' is not enough
My daily ego re-inflation procedures
That look women get that says 'I hate that I love this but I do'

My ninth biggest secret is the bag in my closet containing 100+ meters of natural fiber rope.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having just escaped from the slavery that is IT, I now have a whole summer in Auckland all to myself before I escape [read:travel]. I've been here most of my life and no matter how many times I leave I'll always come back, this is my home. Sharing the beaches of the North Shore / East Coast Bays with people is special to me, memories lasting far longer than the sand in your toes.

I'll be looking for hosts around Europe mid 2016.

Interests

Rock climbing is my new way to push my physical and mental limits. It feels freeing to get further out of my comfort zone. I'm always looking for new challenges.

When I need an adrenaline rush I play airsoft. It's a bit like paintball. I enjoy the strategy and tactics of combat. Winning requires teamwork and leadership.

I'm learning to dance swing, I like the music more than the music likes me. I don't do as much yoga as I should.

I cook great food, often sticking to a paleo or similar diet.
