About Me

CURRENT MISSION

When the end comes, be able to say Year that was a bloody good life, no regrets only experiences

ABOUT ME

I prett relaxed character, supposily a typical Kiwi lad. Own my own home. I have a 7 year old son, who lives with us sometimes, One of my aims is to get him fit & ready to play for the All Blacks in time for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
At the moment I am keeping very fit as training for a multisport event from the west coast to Chch.

PHILOSOPHY

The only regrets in life are the things that I havent done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent a lot of time on peoples couches in London, South Africa and friends in Az, so while I probably dont travel as much now, I can give something back. I do believe couch surfing is a great concept. When you travel to a foreign land, the best experience you can have is with the natives!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in my day we called it dossing, I lived for 3 months either on a couch, behind a couch on the floor, or a spare bed if one was available. In London their was a heirachy system, the longer your were their the more senior you were. The rules were simple, dossers have no rights but a senior dosser had the pick of the bed ahead of any junior dossers. South Africa during the 1995 worlcup was staying with friends parents, a bit flash.

Interests

I love being a Kiwi with all the things that Chch offers. I like to keep fit through the odd run bike, mtbike, kayak. Socialy when I'm out, I love a good night out socialising. I love beer - of course & NZ wine Pinot Noir & Sav Blanc
