CURRENT MISSION

To not fall over in front of everyone again. Today is the day!

ABOUT ME

Moved to the Hawkes Bay to make wine two years ago and was lucky enough to get one of the houses at the winery that I work at. Even has a restaurant too so I dont have to go far if I cant be bothered cooking. But I like cooking. So I normally just borrow the chefs equipment.

PHILOSOPHY

I always view my glass as half full. And always ensure a bottle of wine is on hand so it always stays that way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Got introduced to couch surfing by some Californians I had living with me. Was asked "hey, would you mind if some Swedes came and stayed for a couple of nights?". I thought why not and over the course of the last 4 months have had a whole bunch of couch surfers through. Harvest is over so the Californians are back in the States leaving the house rather empty so figured I need my own profile now.

Interests

I take grapes and turn them into wine. Which I think makes them tastier. Oh and food. The two best things to do in the Hawkes Bay.

• dining
• cooking
• wine
• surfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got outsmarted by monkeys in Bali. Stole my apple. Dammit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I thought it said touch, learn, share. Was a bit confused until I read it properly.
