CURRENT MISSION

To be an interested human being.

ABOUT ME

I am a professional violist born and raised in New Zealand.

I'm a pretty relaxed guy who is open to most attitudes and ways of living. Coming from such a small country on the other side of the world makes one hungry for new cultures and opinions and it is definitely a part of our cultural identity in New Zealand to seek this out.

PHILOSOPHY

Sensitivity inspires harmony

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a sweet idea and one that proves all the best qualities of our human nature. Why the hell not??!!
