I'm a pretty laid back and easy going guy.
I love meeting new people, seeing different places and learning new skills.
I've travelled OS a bit, but not enough. Loved India!
I really enjoy getting out for trail ride on the pushy or a paddle in the kayak.
I've been self employed for 3 & 1/2 years mainly renovating and extending old homes. I'm now making furniture and kayaks as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was a kid my family was a host with SERVAS and I have heaps of great memories of the families that came to stay with us. I know it enriched their travel but it also broadened by view of the world.
Most of the good memories I have from travelling are of the great people I met and the moments we shared.

Interests

Anything hand made and well designed.
Travel, people and the amazing world we seldom stop to notice.
Food and gardening.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything Good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked in the Himalayas. And I'll be doing it again in November 2016!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm starting to teach skin-on-frame kayak building which will be a pipe dream come true. The next project I want to do is a bamboo bike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An easy going but appreciative attitude.
I love to cook but if you'd prefer me not to, I don't mind doing the dishes.

Countries I’ve Visited

India, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Samoa, Thailand, United States
