Some of the movies I recently saw and liked: Dallas Buyer Club, All is Lost, Blackfish, 12 Years a Slave, The Physician. I go the cinema almost every week.I like a lot of different music. Mostly from the Rock, Indie, Alternative, Singer/Songwriter genres. But as with films it changes according to my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Milford Track. Camping on the beach by yourself and waking up to a glorious sunrise. Be the first person on Planet Earth to see the sun rise.
