CURRENT MISSION

I watched a movie the other day and now want to go to Darjeeling

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to enjoy the simple things. I've never been someone to follow the tourist trail but more just wander the back streets and learn from others daily life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Malaysia, Vietnam and South Korea. I've been lucky that my home town is a good stop off point for those biking around New Zealand and have hosted several times now.

Interests

I've had a lot of interests over the years mainly outdoors, tramping, kayaking, windsurfing, skiing and now kite-surfing. What I keep going back to though is my desire to see more of the world then the small part I've been too.
I’ve been flying paragliders for 6 months now and it’s the most incredible experience

Run for my life from a rhino.
