CURRENT MISSION

Living my perfect life

ABOUT ME

I've spent long enough on the beaches and in the arcades of other countries, and I've decided to locate myself in NZ's warmer climes where I'll have time to acupuncture the heck out of some people and work on my other various pursuits. Recently, I'm not ashamed to say, I've been getting WAY into gardening again. Doubly rewarding stuff....

I like playing a little music, talking to great people, having massages, making things, cooking, reminding everyone that this is an INCREDIBLE life and we're all unimaginably blessed to have the means to travel, meet strangers, and learn what life can be all about.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take too much, or too little. Don't give too much, or too little... Have a radical time, without being a radical. Test the boundaries, but if you break them, fix them...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A couple of years ago I lived in Wellington and our flat hosted loads of people. I've since spent a couple years overseas, occasionally couchsurfing, and now I'm keen to return the favours and make folk welcome...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing once or twice, but mainly hosting.

Some excellent gents from Texas, a quality couple from NYC, some chatty young Austrian girls, various cyclists, etc.

This guy James from Baltimore was fantastic, good chats, nice whiskey, totally memorable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran naked through an open field in a North Carolina electrical storm while the sky was emblazoned with blast after blast of blue-white lightening. Very dangerous and silly, but exhilarating...
