About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To challenge myself to try new things and live life to the maximum

ABOUT ME

I am a 55 year old single male who is a very proud Kiwi. I thorougly enjoy meeting new people especially from overseas. I find the differences in cultures and lifestyles very interesting.
I enjoy going out to dinner at restaurants with friends. I believe I am am able to relate well with people of all ages. Though I have no children (one of my greatest regrets)I do get on with them well and often babysit for friends.

I enjoy sports being involved in football (soccer) at a reasonably high level. I have also coached womens sport. My grandfather was on the Auckland Rugby Union however all seven of his sons played soccer. He didn't care as long as they were involved in something. I concur with this thinking as well.

I have developed a Bucket list divided into three sections
1/. Things To Do
2/. Places To Go
3/. Events To See
I believe every person should have one of these irrespective of age as it can help in achieving these experiences. As things are ticked off just add something else.

This year I made a New Years resolution. This was to do a Random Act Of Kindness each week. It may be buying someone a coffee, helping an old lady with her bags or something similar. It can be monetary but this isn't always the case. It gives such a good feeling. If this then gets passed on the world would be a far greater place.

PHILOSOPHY

I have two things I believe in
1/.Treat people like you would like to be treated yourself
2/. Don't be afraid to make mistakes as it is from mistakes that some of the greatest lessons have been learnt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a Southland trip in the South Island. On this trip I experienced the Lake Te Anau overnight cruise. Wow, it was great. Great food, great guides, great kayaking, great dolphins, great seal colony and pictur postcard setting. And all at a reasonable price.
