Born and bred New Zealander now living in Cairns in the far North of Queensland, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy heading out to the reef and snorkelling, trying way to late in life to learn to skateboard, have 3 children (only 1 still at home) with my wife Nicole, married 24 years and just taking our first real overseas holiday.

Have always enjoyed hosting and have met some great friends through it but never in an organised way, just spur of the moment, pick up a hitch hiker, they end up staying type thing.
