About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to make your place mine ;) or mine yours..

ABOUT ME

Hi - we're a couple living in NZ with a dog, two horses (one wild!) and maybe the odd couch surfer from time to time with a few stories to share.. We're really excited to be heading off on our next mission soon - a lot of Europe this Aug/Sept.
Looking forward to meeting some great people, enjoying some nice places and tasting the good stuff.
Drop us a note, skype Ben at work - we'd love to hear your thoughts on what's good over in Europe!

On sharing space; We wont berate you with opinion, will go to lengths to make you comfortable and being kiwi's, respect personal space.

PHILOSOPHY

You know too much, much too much, but still not enough. I will leave the deeper philosophy to his holiness the Dali Lama!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A country couch - 25min drive from the Capital City (Wellington City) - so much better than Auckland!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

We live on the back of a great mountain bike park - it's winter - who wants to go night riding?
Horse riding (Laura) - in fact, we live on 'horse park'
Consumption of all good things > Ben even cooks
Snowboarding - we're about 3 1/2 hours from Whakapapa/Turoa

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That giant lizard in the Daintree rainforest
Cambodian composure despite it all
The use of two wheels in Vietnam
The scale of consumption in the USA
Balinese hotel with pool and breakfast for $1
Kebabs in Turkey fashionable with French bread
Swedish mid-summers eve (forgetting the food)
Aix en Provence - a pedestrian world of old, the way of the future?
I would fill in the 'places been' in the travel section but it's an onerous series of clicks..
