About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have more adventures than I have time to re-tell

ABOUT ME

workoholic/adventurer.

Carpenter by trade-I used to work 12-16 hours a day 6 to 7 days a week, then i realized i was 25 not experiencing anything but a paycheck. I sold pretty much everything i owned and moved over to New Zealand. I had no idea i would be so touched, inspired, and motivated with the people and stories i would hear meeting the locals,and especially the couchsurfers i've come across and got to know. Ive realized i want my life to be about experiences- past present and future, connections and living everyday to the fullest and always striving for something new

PHILOSOPHY

Better yourself every day. Lead a life you will look back and be proud of, and be proud to share with others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I havnt had the chance to host, only the chance to surf a few times. I enjoy getting out to CS events and connecting with like minded people to share experiences and life stories, always finding inspiration to better myself and give back what i can to others

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yet to come across a bad seed out there in the CS world so far. Everyone has been so generous, accepting, and welcomed me into their lives. I hope others feel the same in return

Interests

Canoeing, whitewater, tramping, biking, photography, hiking, laid back acoustic music, traveling, listening to others adventures. I dont know the word no, so im always up for anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I dont watch much tv but if i do its documentaries, National Geo, Discovery etc. I love to feel connected to the music i listen to, something that i can relate to, or reflect on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled Canada coast to coast in the back of my truck, meeting different people everywhere I went. Stories of triumph, and failure from everyday people chasing their dreams, with sights I will never forget. Which is what helped get me out of Canada to experience NZ and beyond.
