About Me

ABOUT ME

I just like making things. I like living cheaply, community, and simplicity. I enjoy missions; dumpster missions, tramping missions, walking real far across a city to find a ukelele missions. I have a particular interest in home built instruments. I grew up in a big family, like card games, board games and making a big meal for round the table.

PHILOSOPHY

Service and simplicity, is what i think atthe moment. 

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing as its a great way to meet genuine people. So far I have only been hosted, it's a sweet thing to turn up in a town knowing that not only is there a place to stay but a future friend already there.

I hope when I am more organised to be able to pay back my couch debt.

Music, Movies, and Books

As a child I just listened to Pink Floyd. But I also enjoy anything a bit funky or heavy dark blues. I'm not a very good movie watcher but I love documentaries and how do you make this vidoes. Actually recently I really enjoyed Waltz with Bashir and Mad Max. Two books I have read this year have been a Biography of John Brittain ( a kiwi engineer) and some Bill Brison.
