About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To paraglide around the world

ABOUT ME

I've been flying for a few years and though yes, I do talk about it every chance I get, I don't drone on and on if I think you're not interested (though if I get going, you might have to give me a big clue like: shut up already ahaha).

My first trip away from home was all the way around the world for a whole year! Bit homesick, but there's still so much traveling to do and places to fly that I'm thinking another year or two on the road before settling down...though probably not in England as the sun is bloody awesome. Ah, the things you don't realize until you travel.

PHILOSOPHY

One of these days, I'm going to have a really bad accident...but today is not that day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My girlfriend introduced me to this site when we came to New Zealand (my first trip) and so I decided to have a profile of my own as we continue to travel and when we settle, we'll get a house of our own and give back all the warm welcomes we've received.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two different hosts for a few nights each in Christchurch upon arrival. They were both awesome and very helpful - especially with the building of our van! So much thanks.
