CURRENT MISSION

Be the best father to my children, and the fastest mountain bike rider I can be!

ABOUT ME

Im a gentle, generous, and kind hearted person, walking the path with mindfulness. I aspire to live consciously, taking care of those around me, but also looking after my own body and mind as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live... Give and you shall recieve.
I try not to be too dependent on the system - I try to avoid the global capitalist consumer lifestyle as much as possible, although its not always easy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many people at my home in New Zealand and look forward to crashing on a few couches in the near future. By sharing my home, culture and opinions with others and respectfully learning about theirs in return, I feel like I contribute positively to the couchsurfing project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met a lot of lovely people since I started hosting... its definitely a really cool way to meet interesting poeple and to keep the energies of love and generosity flowing.
