CURRENT MISSION

don't try and please everyone - because it takes too much energy

ABOUT ME

I just arrived in the USA and have a green card so this will be my home for.....time will tell

What else....

Well, I did my OE for nearly 4 years in London like many other Kiwi travellers, and did trips to europe in my time there.

I also spent 6 months traveling from Kenya through to South Africa in the late nineties. Then came home to NZ for 2 years and got bored so went and lived in Canada for 2 years....I had an awesome time there with the cannuks.

I then travelled from Mexico - Argentina got lost a few times and mugged a couple of times too... but loved every minute of it( well not the mugging so much, but its all about the experince I guess.

The latino's definetely have got the work/play mix right. Then all of a sudden a year had gone by and it was time to fly somewhere...so back to NZ and have been here for the past 5 years

Gone to a few trips to Asia and spent some time in China last year for business which was all good

Thats about me... I work for myself and try not to work too intensely all the time, as life just rolls on by, it doesn't always work out that way though.

PHILOSOPHY

if you want to do something stop finding excuses why you can't....make it happen. Everyone else wants to win the lottery too and the odds aren't really in your favour

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now i have hosted travellers but now I'm going to be traveling myself so will experience the other side as it were

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never couch surfed before via this website but have crashed at friends of friends in other travels around the world and have found it to be a greast way to learn about the local areas and maybe stop somewhere that you'd normally pass on by

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Viewing Mountain gorillas in Uganda...awesome it took 2 days of hiking through the jungle to get there.

riding a motorbike trough the Bolivain outback with a Dutch traveller for 4 days with two locals ,travelling dirt roads if you can call them roads...great experience though

Snowboarding on the Argintinian - Chilean border at 3500m, that turned out to be about -20 Celcius + windchill with $2 gloves and $5 jacket with only my aviator sunglasses bought for a $1 and levis jeans...got plenty a wierd looks , and some great conversations
