A strapping young man from the beautiful land of New Zealand with a fine upbringing on the scenic shores of the spectacular Wellington harbour.  

A well rounded individual with a desire for both intellectual and physical stimulation.  Whether it be scrambling to the rocky peak of a steep mountain, analysing the breeding behaviour of a Chilean Lama or slopping around in the mud with 29 other brawny rugby players for 80 minutes, I absolutely love it!

A lot of who I am is because of where I grew up.  New Zealand is a  beautiful country, blessed with a diverse range of spectacular landscapes.  Its people are warm, down to earth and friendly and pride themselves on their ingenuity.  A relaxed and easy pace of life with a lifestyle that is predominantly outdoors provides an exceptional quality of life for its assertive and worldly population.

Settled around a breathtaking harbour, framed with steep, tree-covered hills, with character Victorian cottages clinging to its cliffs is my home town, the colourful city of Wellington. Wellington is the political capital of New Zealand.  It is also the cultural and arts capital and its theatres, cafes, bars, shops and waterfront are always buzzing with a hive of activity.

As I have a love for things that are old (excluding women), one of the most rewarding things that I did over the years was renovate the circa 1900 cottage where I used to reside in Wellington and the 1957 Morris Minor that I used to cruise in on the highways of New Zealand.

New Zealand's summer holidays during my school and university years were guaranteed to be times of great fun with entertaining trips to some of New Zealand's great holiday spots, getting into all kinds of mischief.

Unfortunately, I don't have too many photos of my friends back in New Zealand, and even worse still, the ones I do are not too flattering - the night of my 21st birthday party, where the theme was 'Revenge of the Nerds'.  Bill Gates go crazy!

Here's some stuff on the family tree my dad did for:

The Macnab Clan, colourful characters, expensive portraits and the Duchess of Cornwall

The Northe/Northey history/genealogy from the 1700s

Although the only instrumental piece that I can play is a piano solo of the first verse of 'doe a Deer' from the Sound of Music, I make music with my mouth.  One of my most loved past times is singing, in the shower, watering the garden or my favourite spot, the dark, smoke-filled rooms of a Karaoke bar, which is apparently a good place to meet women.

I am not fan of rap music, but for some strange reason, I have the gift usually only found in men of African descent, the gift of the beat box...

Although I am not yet looking for someone 'to have and to hold till death do us part' I still think that it is worth a mention about what a magnificent husband I will one day make for one lucky lady.  I am caring, thoughtful, charming and most importantly of all, I won't look too bad with grey hair, wrinkles and glasses:
