About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Offering a place to stay for stranded travellers that can’t find work.

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from New Zealand but now live on the Gold Coast, Australia with my partner and young child. I like meeting people from other countries and cultures.

We know that there will be many visitors to Australia who suddenly find themselves out of work worth no way of getting home. Let out home be your temporary one. Relax in the comfort that you’ve got somewhere to isolate until things return to normal.

Interests

Martial Arts (Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong) are currently my life outside of work - love it!

I also love most other sports, cricket and footy especially. And I've recently started my own IT company.

I love movies - try and see as many as possible. Also a huge music lover. My favorite bands are: Muse, Nirvana, Kings of Leon, Sia, The Vines, The Mars Volta, Breaking Benjamin, The Naked and Famous, Lorde...and the list goes on

I like to try new things but I'm not an adrenaline junkie so more 'tame' new experiences is my thing.

Oh and lastly, I like to cook, but don't do anywhere near enough of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was blessed by the Pope at Vatican City. That was pretty amazing for me....even though I'm not religious. Las Vegas was a pretty fun pace to visit too - driving out to the Grand Canyon was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

A nice relaxing place to stay, and my time to drive around the Gold Coast seeing the sights and experiencing the city.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Macao, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
