Outgoing, open minded, activly respectful of others, inquisitive and love to share knowledge, experiences and opinions! I'm Gay, British born, but been lucky enough to live in Sydney, Vancouver and few cities in New Zealand! (& Moving to Auckland Sept 19!).

Kindness and compassion is more important to me than "being seen" and doing things that feed our egos!

I've recently spent a week in silent retreat in a Buddhist monastery which was honestly fantastic! Will be looking for an opportunity to extend this practice at the next opportunity!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and see the world.
Open my mind up to different people and different views and experiences. To share knowledge that I have accumulated though my life!

Music, Movies, and Books

Sci-fi, thrillers, horror, "based on true stories" tear jerkers,
Not really a reader, but recently the only books I have had time to read are career based books! - PowerPivot, SQL, Python, strategic management, PRINCE2 😂😂😂!
Music? No particular genre, but love dancing (badly) to gay anthems in gay bars.
