*** Currently travelling through Asia for several months.

I'm currently living Pukekohe and studying quantity surveying and am a fitter welder on the daily grind to get through. I like to get out on the weekends and my days off to gigs, festivals, exploring NZ or just getting on the beers with some mates while doing a couple rounds of golf with good music blasting.

Please note that I live in Pukekohe which is on the very edge of auckland, understand how far we live away before asking to stay with you. To show that you understand please write the word "Pukekohe" in your message to me to show that you have read this. chur
