ABOUT ME

While I certainly enjoy being in New Zealand I now find myself spending more time in SE Asia for the travel experience, snorkelling, and visiting old and new friends. I enjoy talking with people and hearing about their interesting or unusual experiences, philosophies, and also their dreams and aspirations. Combining this with walks in forests or hills is especially good. Then the icing on the cake would be excellent food to share around while enjoying all this.

PHILOSOPHY

learn and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

5 weeks in remote Indonesia without seeing a white face

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to tie trout flies for income, and probably still could show someone 'how to' if they have access to the materials. I could also help you learn to cast a fly, and how to see the trout to cast to. I can find my way around a computer, assemble one from parts, modify them to run quieter, use Linux/Ubuntu and can show you some keyboard short-cuts to make life easier. I have done massage courses, learned off-road driving, and practiced freediving safety techniques. And done lots of dancing! I would be keen to learn more massage, and find a freedive buddy in places I end up for diving.
