About Me

I'm a fun Kiwi guy!

I'm heading to Finland for 2 weeks in July-August 2016 with 4 nights in San Fran! My dates in San Fran are July 15-19. I'm absolutely fizzing about it. In San Fran I would love to go to an NBA and NBL game, have a night out on the town... I hear it's the best city in the states.

I'm in living and working in NZ's lovely capital city. I've dabbled in a few different things in my life, studied Science at University, played European Handball around the world, worked in all sorts of roles. I've explored the wonderful outdoors of our fantastic country, South East Asia, the Pacific, and the Himalayas and just want to continue seeing more.

- I like to keep fit, healthy, and an open mind
- I love playing sport, long boarding around new cities, sitting in a piazza with a coffee and watching the world pass by
- I like new people and love new experiences
- I particularly ones involving large doses of adrenalin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's possibly the greatest travelling concept ever!

I want meet awesome people and get the best experience of your part of the world as I can... and of course to reciprocate it as best we can!

Interests

Pretty much anything, Science, Environment, Sport (particularly rugby), I'm not to big on the Arts, but I love to learn as much as I can about anything really. I like to keep fit and healthy and exhaust everyday for what it's worth. What's probably as important is what I don't like... a closed mind, an unwillingness to learn and develop, and religious and political fundamentalism.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Hip hop by far but I enjoy a dabble in most genres
Books - Science and business in particular but my favourite book by far is The Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked to Mt Everest Base Camp and watched the sunrise over the summit from Kala Patthar... it's life changing
