About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, enjoy laughter, hang out and share fun and good times

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, young at heart, happy go lucky sort of guy. I was fortunate to grow up in three great nations, New Zealand, Australia and America (in Tallahassee, Florida). Most of my formative years were in Sydney, Australia, so i am very Australian in spirit. I have been fortunate to work in all three, and have travelled around Europe - which i loved too. I love my work, which is that of being an entrepreneur in business and technology (Software, various technologies), concepting and creating new services/products that are of benefit to all, and helping to bring these to market.

PHILOSOPHY

Tao. Freedom and Liberty !. Harmony with the Universe - we are the masters of our own individual destinies, we concept and create the lives we want to live. Humanitarian, seek to advance the betterment of all. As individuals we can all better our world by being the best individuals that we can, and inspiring others to be all that they can be.

Teach, Learn, Share

Dont take yourself too seriously. Relax, enjoy, get to know each other, share experiences, laugh and have fun :)

Duration of stay - usually a couple of nights, can be longer, play by ear, depends on a mix of things - check with me, hint, if the company is both enjoyable and fun, it can be longer )

If u stay with me, appreciate assistance with keeping the apartment clean and tidy for all to enjoy :)

Per CS, i love to share good, enjoyable and fun times, cooking, laughter, experiences, stories, movies, photos, fitness activities running, swimming, sauna, gym, dancing, and hanging out, and having fun with those who want to do so likewise. Im also really busy as an entrepreneur out and about creating and making things happen, so my time is limited, however i always make time for fun and good times :)

The best CS experiences have been where both parties share, i share my time, accommodation in my central luxury waterview apartment, sense of adventure, TLC etc, so if you would like to stay with me, please craft a request that also outlines what you can share, bring to the overall experience, that makes it more enjoyable and fun for both of us, eg cooking ( i love foreign cuisine), etc. Please also ensure your profile has clear picture/s of yourself and when crafting your request, include the words "share and have fun and good times" as i will then know you have actually read my profile :).
