About Me

Hey!
I am moving from Sydney to Auckland on the 27th of January to have a change in lifestyle and reconnect with my Kiwi roots.
I am doing landscape construction in Sydney and I hope to find a job in the same industry in Auckland.
While I am getting on my feet, finding a new job etc I am looking to couch surf for a few nights here and there to meet people and have some good times.

CURRENT MISSION
To see the world, and to share good times with the people I meet.

ABOUT ME
I am an adventurous, easy going, fun loving guy.
Interested in photography, art, design, action sports and music.
I love cooking, don't mind the clean-up and always keen to try new food!

PHILOSOPHY
Life is to be enjoyed, by all.
Don't use up more than your share, don't be a cunt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to meet new people on my travels around the world.
I feel that you can only really know a city, once you have made friends and stayed with a local.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
My favourite kind of music is Rock n Roll, in all its iterations. From Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin Wolf to Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, The Clash, The Stooges, Blondie, ACDC, Led Zep, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails etc.
I also like Rap and Hip-hop, mostly pre 2000's stuff like The Pharsyde, A Tribe Called Quest, Souls of Mischeif, Jurassic 5, Wu Tang, Pete Rock, Big L, Guru etc.
I like a lot of other genres which don't fall into these categories, but these are my favourite!

Movies:
Action/gangster movies and stupid comedies are my favourite.
Lock Stock and Two Smokin Barrels, Snatch, Wonderland, Almost Famous, Sid and Nancy, Ali G In Da House, Pineapple Express, Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle, Supertroopers etc etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago, I went to The States for 3 months and rented an RV with 5 friends.

So many memories, such good times!
