home is not where you live but where they understand you

About Me

I am currently living in Napier, which is half way down the North Island of New Zealand on the east coast. I have also lived in London for a year and half where I worked as an office temp and travelled around Europe a bit. I love to travel to different countries because you get the opportunity to meet and experience different cultures, make new friends and have adventures. Friends and family are important to me and I believe any experience is most enjoyed in the company of those you care about. I am a happy, positive person, I try not to let things get me down and can see through the difficult times to find good out of a situation. Some people find this annoying, but hey, thats just me. I don't like being around negative people... -- 2.39 / 5.08 --

Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life.
You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.
You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person.
With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that! What's Your Element?

My Interests

Travelling, adventure, extreme sports - I love the feeling of getting your adrenalin pumping, socialising, meeting new people, watching most sports, spending the whole day in the pub just because you can

As many people as I possibly can, you can never have too many friends!

Music:

I like a variety of music, but my favourite genre is rock/punk rock. I will listen to most music at least a couple of times before I decide whether I like or dislike it and won't judge a genre based on one group. I'm quite happy to listen to most music even if I don't particularly like it but my friends etc do. Green Day is the most awesome band and seeing them live one day is one of my ambitions. Here are some of my favourite bands: , ,Alien Ant Farm, Blur, The Exponents, Matchbox 20, Metallica, Blink-182, Sum 41, The Killers, Lost Prophets, The Living End, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, REM, U2, Razorlite, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Offspring, Smashing Pumpkins, Simple Plan, Shihad, Evermore, Elemeno P, Zed, Steriogram, Pluto, Dave Dobbyn, Crowded House, Split Enz, Good Charlotte, Hoobastank, Incubus, Seether, Tim Finn, Sublime, Live, Lifehouse, The Violent Femmes, Muse, The Feelers, Tool, Jimmy Eat World, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Dire Straits, Third Eye Blind, 3 Doors Down, 28 Days, Silverchair, The Prodigy, Tadpole, Supergroove, Bon Jovi, Feeder, Coldplay, Limp Bizkit

Movies:

I will watch most movies, or at least give them a go. I like movies that make you think, have a decent plot and are generally just entertaining. I also like movies where you don't have to think and just make you laugh. Directors - I like Peter Jackson (of course, I am kiwi after all!) Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. I have trouble deciding what my favourites are, but here are some of the movies I like: Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, American Pie, Harry Potter, Zoolander, Wedding Crashers, Oceans 11, Spiderman, Love Actually, Dead Poet's Society, Happy Gilmore, The Monty Python movies
