About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To suck the marrow out of life

ABOUT ME

I'm all about enjoying the outdoors, having fun, being positive, travelling & being adventurous. Like you, I'm here to make the most of my time on Earth. I am a pretty laid back, sociable & relaxed type of guy. I've only travelled to Sth Africa & New Zealand so far & plan to go on many more adventures all around the world in the future. Next on my travel to do list is Sth America. I hope to move to Europe in 18 months, so in the meantime, I want to see as much of the Southern Hemisphere as possible.

While in Aus, I do go on short trips to Hunter Valley, Byron Bay, Newcastle so if you want to join, let me know. Love hanging out outdoors so if you want to go to the beach, check out some sites around Syd or even a trip to the Blue Mountains let me know.

Please note that I work pretty long hours so can only host people on Friday nights & weekends.

Good luck in your travels & hopefully we can meet in the near future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hard to choose just one since i have so many... Three of my greatest achievments include Skydiving & bungee jumping in Queenstown, New Zealand, winning the 2003 Sydney Harbour Bridge National Koala Poking Competition & 1999 Skinny Dipping World Championships in Greenland.

The last achievement is how i got my nickname, Subs. It is short for Subzero, which I was given by mates after the ability to withstand ice cold temperatures nude in Greenland.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to learn new things. It's such a great journey. On my "2010 To Learn List" are 1.Learn Spanish, 2. Learn to salsa dance 3. Learn to ski & snowboard & 4. Become good at Beach Volleyball 5. Become a decent cook
