Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hm. See a little bit more of the world, and enjoy myself. And not die.
ABOUT ME
Who am I?
A musician. A lover (of icecream sodas and fancy things). Um...
Also I fix computers for people - like, seriously, I've fixed about 13 computers for people on my couchsurfing journeys. If you want your computer fixed, it's a good idea to host me. I will, most likely, fix your computer. Unless I can't. In which case, sucks to be you.
I run a music studio here in Hamilton NZ, and enjoy my life. I would like to see a little bit more of the world (not too much tho'.. .) but am really happy living here in New Zealand.
Pretty open-minded and creative person, pretty stoic and self-contained sometimes, and at other times more social and talky.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm buddhist, I guess that would describe some of it, I also have Chronic fatigue syndrome, which informs some of my perspectives.
I'm a relatively quiet person and live my life according to a set of principles - 1. honesty 2. try and be nice 3. if you cant be nice, be honest.
Not shy, but not 'outgoing' either. Nice balance- I'd say.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I haven't been hosting people for a while since I've been finishing off the studio, but now am open for business again.
Need to note: I live in the country - ie. 20 minutes outside of Hamilton. If you don't have your own car, and I'm not on holiday, you're going to find it difficult to get here and/or explore.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Very positive. Travelled through Canada in 2011 on the backs of couchsurfers and wwoofing. Also have hosted quite a few peeps.
