We are three pretty cool people who just want to have a fun time. We like to drop acid and go to raves. Occasionally, we pile up in our Dodge Caravan and head on up to Zack's favorite strip club, Night Moves. You see, Zack used to be a part time stripper in Cuba, so going to the local strip clubs reminds him of his past. You see, We have quite the past. - Brendan Bartley

I am a bit of an odd mix, I have Sri Lankan/Scottish parents, was born in Sydney, Australia, but raised in New Zealand. So I do consider myself a proud Kiwi!!! I have worked in the tourism industry for over 10 years - mainly for AJ Hackett Bungy out of Queenstown, New Zealand. Because of this, I have done over 80 bungy jumps, numerous skydives, white water rafting, canyoning, you name it, I've probably done it.
