Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Just come back to New Zealand after 3 and a half years away. Wonderful to be back in Wellington.
ABOUT ME
I'm a friendly and fairly well traveled person. I'm always keen to see new places and experience wonderful people along the way.
I'm open minded and easy going. I love the great out-doors, enjoy a mixed range of world music, and I love rowing, kayaking, football, grungy bars and tall trees.
I'm somewhat a dreamer and a drifter and I'd look forward to saying hello to you one day.
PHILOSOPHY
Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.
