CURRENT MISSION

To get back to reality in New Zealand, with a little help from my new friends...

ABOUT ME

Im educated and talkative. My main interests are reading, thinking and talking and playing sport. I love to run, swim at the beach but my current obsession is with squash, tennis and anything adventurous. Ive got degrees in History and Law, worked as a fitter/turner then a high school teacher. Right now Im doing my PhD in law about the Deepwater Horizon, I just spent a year travelling to Texas, studying in Bremen and then coming home via Shanghai and Brisbane. I cant host at the moment, but am always keen to meet interesting travellers, for excursions, conversations or any occasions!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the whole "do unto others" ethic. I reckon if you treat people properly then what goes around will come around. Plus life is just a lot more satisfying when you do random acts of kindness.
