About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Roaming, looking especially at the cultural heritage of the world's peoples. Experiencing diverse cultures and really old buildings you don't see in New Zealand.

ABOUT ME

I am am a friendly kiwi guy interested in talking to new people . I like to explore and figure things out with the help of others.
I'm efficient, happy and like to do a lot when traveling. I prefer to stay occupied unless I've really switched off to relax.
Traveling through India I have become casual to things impacting on me as one has to be to.

Usually i cut my hair normal boy length about once a year then let it grow long until asking someone to cut it then and there.

if you use twitter my user handle is @pV2DDy

PHILOSOPHY

Keep listening, try to absorb as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like doing dishes especially before bed, it is very satisfying to recategorise the entire stock of the kitchen cupboards from dirty and blocking the bench space to drying and blocking the bench space.

I'm very willing to do favors i know i receive many

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new here.

Ive put my blog as my website, Its a little bit tame because its mostly for my family any business clients that double as friends

Interests

I like jumping off things in the 1-10m metre range into deep water.
I like getting lost in foreign cities seeing the everyday and typical sights, especially because i like figuring out my way again.
I love gardens they are my business and a passion.
I like it when someone tells me something they loved without much more information and sets me out to do it too.
I like dismantling things and putting them back together.
I like scratching dogs and patting cats.
I love stories, hearing stories and telling stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music; Arcade fire, Foals, Frank ocean, whatever indie music my passionate friends are able to get me to engage with and a lot of hip hop including good hip hop and bad commercial rap i usually pretend to not know about

some favourite movies are Amalie, Casablanca, Donnie Darko, District 9,Anchorman,Empire Strike Back

I like to read novels but not really nonfiction talking is for learning to me. some favourite books are; Birdsong, Shantaram, love in the time of cholera, the hobbit, life of pi., the road. I tend to really like best selling dramas

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had one truely disastrous trip overseas. If you have three hours and like listening and asking clarifying questions it makes a good tale, everything turns out for the best in the end and i still love travelling.

I think the two months Ive spent in India have given me some amazing experiences and I've witnessed many perspective changing things

It sounds boring but starting and running my own business as my only source of income has taught me a lot about ways of doing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

The major and only dilemma in my life is whether to trim my now outrageously long waxed curled mustache. It is totality ridiculous but it takes so long to grow i'm too hesitant to trim it and other people tend to enjoy it or least be amused by it
