Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a bit of a transient being at present, I am most likely around Bluff, or the lower South Island, get in touch and we'll see whats going on. Do not be offended if I cannot host you, its probably a me not you situation. I must add here, because I think people seldom look at the description of the premise, that I am essentially squatting in a abandoned church, my mateys who own the church are aware of this, but be aware, facilities are currently nil...I am working on it.

Music, Movies, and Books

currently I am listening most to...hmm, all-sorts, I'm defying genres/time zones/hemispheres...yep, diversity of tunes is key!

I am reading about bears in Russia, extinct birds in New Zealand, and still, slowly reading South by Shackleton, it's taking me forever, icebergs everywhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Afghanistan was pretty damn special. So was Campbell Island. Siberia was great too though. A lot of greatness out there.
