my name is gary, i'm a 39 year old new zealander living in ireland, i've just stopped playing rugby after some 25 years, more from injuries than actually wanting too. i've always kept fit and enjoy all sports, am open to anything. just spent xmas in kyoto, japan. nice to be in a country that doesn't celebrate it, a lot more realistic doing it the bhuddist way, visiting temples wathching monks chant.... so beautiful. i've traveled a bit now and have a lot left in me. i enjoy my quiet times out in the country of county wicklow, where i can recharge and chill. i still enjoy a good party but am at home in the kitchen with a nice n.z pinot, (cental otago make the best back home). i work as a builder these days, coming from a building family it was a natural progression, although i started my working career as a chef... i've dabbled with the profession over the years but prefer cooking for friends or that special someone. if your out there drop me a line... what i miss most a bout home is the awesome beaches, surfing, and sailing with my mates around golden bay. you can't beat the ocean on a hot summers day...

ciao from G
