About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the journey of life, living day by day...

ABOUT ME

I try to live life to the fullest, you know the old saying "work hard play hard" During the day I have a building business and we are busy rebuilding Christchurch after all the earthquakes we've had this year. I love to party and dance. House Techno etc but it's a bit hard to here at the moment because we have lost our town centre. I live with a flatmate and my kids (half the time). Its a large house with a swimming pool and pool table so we have lots of friends over in the summer.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a pacifist who believes in equality for all. I try not to judge anyone and think we have two ears and only one mouth for a reason.
I also believe that everyday is special and I try to remind myself how lucky I am compared to those less fortunate. Instead of looking up and wanting more I think we should look down more often and thank our lucky stars.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I havn't stayed on anyone else's couch but a few brave souls have been here! Its all been good fun and met some great people. No duds yet!

Interests

Snow boarding in the winter and Jet skiing, fishing, swimming and mountain biking in the summer. To stay fit I box, I'm a pacifist that thinks boxing is truly the sweet science. I love taking the kids camping and we regularly go to 2 and 3 day music festivals.
I love love love to dance! generally to house, electro and hard house music. My latest passion is Kitesurfing! I love it and try to get out as much as possible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During our summer camping trip this year we had two Orca whale swim up to our boat and one of the orca had a 6 foot Thresher shark in its mouth! It was like he was showing off with his latest catch!
