About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Summer NZ! do that....

ABOUT ME

I guess I fit into the quiet/shy category, but really I always listen first before talking.

I'm a slow grower too, but thats ok you see, because that way I'm gonna be evolving/improving changing for my whole life.

I love old stuff, vintage clothes, music, history, I love finding stuff that appears to have been discarded or overlooked and making it my own. Lately I've started wanting to break out of this pattern with my music listening and find out what the new stuff is! The new, the new...

Can't go past post WWII jubilee gospel music though, I went crazy listening to that for a couple of months this year. I'll always have a fascination with the highs (and lows I guess) of human artistic/cultural achievement...

Grew up in a city in New Zealand called Dunedin, settlers in the 1860's from the UK made a city modeled on Edinbourgh... fascinating now that I've lived in other places, but was not so clued up as a teeenager!

PHILOSOPHY

Life unfolds, there is nothing you can do about it, except to imagine the best things for your future... thats where it all starts - imagination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only just started on CS, but after sending some e-mails out to interesting NY members, I'm excited to share my experiences and music with other open minded people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

might save this story for people I meet...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a professional musician, and in NZ I teach guitar lessons at a primary/intermediate school... so Guitar/bass/drums/keyboards I can teach. Love to make music with new people.

Love to learn... filling in this box with my skills is great, but how do I list all the things I don't know, that I wished I knew? suprises?
