About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the perfect couch potato, and share my great fun crazy city with others. To show the world the non-tourist Durban, the REAL SA.

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing kinda guy, with a nerdish ability to increase and share my general knowledge with people who don't even want to know! I am hoping to meet new friends from all over the world, and to share the real Durban with them.

PHILOSOPHY

Find myself by finding others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
