About Me

CURRENT MISSION

New Zealand!!

ABOUT ME

NOTE -- I'M CURRENTLY IN AUCKLAND, NOT TORONTO. Waiting for address re-verification.

I'm a pretty laid back but adventurous guy. I love meeting new people and trying new things. I am a huge music fan- play drums, piano, guitar and am really enjoying singing these days. I'm pretty active as well; especially into cycling and climbing.

I've recently moved from Canada to beautiful New Zealand for a special lady I met through couchsurfing a few years ago!! Here she is https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/jaygirl/

I'm finally able to host after having surfed with some great people over the years. Please be sure to read the couch info section and don't send generic cut and paste requests. They will be ignored.

PHILOSOPHY

Do the best you can. Learn your strengths and apply them as much as possible. Tread lightly. Be good to yourself and others. Keep an open mind. Laugh a lot. When it's good, it' fun....when it's bad, it's funny.
