About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the full, do everything learn as much as humanly possible if not more, but most importantly have way to much fun. My life is about having FUN, not a little bit but tonnes of FUN.
Update: The mission has hit second gear, after a serious accident in late 2013 i have recovered and seen that life has so much more to offer us all, i have started taking bigger risks in ever part of my life, opening every door i came across and work harder to just have fun and be happy in the moment.

ABOUT ME

Im an easy going willing do anything once kind of person always looking to step out side of my ever expanding comfort zone. I like to think im well educated and love to learn new things. Learning and having fun is the base of my existence. Have done tonnes of cool stuff in my life and always love sharing experiences and learning from others. The best ideas I have come from listening to others and felling there passion for what drives them. I love to just plug in and recharge of people and there excitement for life. I have a crazy kiwi sense of humor and find the funny side to most things as I believe laughing makes you younger, well feel younger anyway :) Always keen to help out others and do a bit of hard work to help keep the dreams alive.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat everyone as you would like to be treated. Dont judge people until you know them really well, and then try not to judge them still.
I believe that if someone is happy we should all support them even if we dont agree with what they are doing, just be happy that they are happy. Life is just to short not to have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im looking at traveling and like the idea of learning the culture as you go to full appreciate the beauty of a place. Have always worked in areas when traveling to get to know locals, but it takes so long to get round and im not getting younger. So I see this as a fun way to achieve the same things on a smaller timeline. Always happy for people to stay, (as long as there is room and flat mates are sweet with it). But just to meet new people of like minds share a drink and some laughs and good times.

Back in my home town for a period so if anyone wants a free guide or help with anything feel free to drop me a line. More than happy to help out where ever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

AMAZING

Heading to Thailand for April 2012 so would love to surf some more couches meet new and interesting people (not that i have ever meet anything but this) and let the joy of life continue to flow. So if you want to meet me let me know we can have a drink, a walk or what ever tickles your fancy.

Interests

Love outdoors. Animals, plants and flowers float my boat. Mountain biking, skydiving and some climbing are all fun pastimes. But sports in general, make me tick and smile.
Photography, just love photos as everyone says something about whats in it and every person gets out of them what they want. Photos inspire and bring people together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woken up every day and seen the world, meet new people and felt every emotion under the sun. I have lived!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences of building my own successful business and how I walked away from it to travel and start living life with only simiple basics. How this has taught me so much about myself and others that I meet. Im more of a thinker but getting better with my hands so always willing new skills. Am more than happy to share anything and everything I know. I just hope I find people with similar openess to share. I have a vast knowledge of many areas of life so just ask and we will see what comes of it.....

I am really interested to learn of different cultures so when I meet people I can better understand there views and way of life.
I am just a giant human sponge... fill me up :)
