I am a filmmaker interested in the natural world and the diverse ways in which we humans interact with it.

I love all things film, music and literature. I love the outdoors, surfing, and also play guitar and write songs when the mood strikes.

I'm not the best at small talk and usually accidentally steer the conversation towards deeper philosophical subjects, apologies in advance ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently doing some research for a low-budget human interest documentary that requires some travel within NZ.

Interests

I love historical and contemporary fiction, non-fiction (especially real life adventure accounts), I love all things film and filmmaking. Would happily watch a movie every day if I could. When life is in balance I usually end up with guitar in hand and a new tune swimming in my head.

I also love animals, do some dog & cat sitting on the side, and find myself increasingly drawn to nature.
