CURRENT MISSION

building an empire and having fun

ABOUT ME

Driven and in the moment. I pursue my long term goals but don't forsake the immediate pleasures in life. It's all about the journey in the end and happiness isn't the next bus stop, its the rickshaw, tuktuk,taxi,tram,bus or whatever you are on now....

some background:
Entrepreneur and renewable energy expert. I love to combine my passion for business, connection and the environment. I am the eldest of 4 (two bros and one sister). Grew up on in the bush but have been a city boy the past 6 years. I'm into music and adventure in a BIG way. So hope to share contacts and experiences

PHILOSOPHY

Do it ALL!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm planning trips to Tanzania, Brazil, Peru, Austria, and Thailand in the next year. I think couch surfing will come in handy. And on the home front some interesting company is always welcome. Experience South African hospitality and companionship first hand:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I currently live with a friend in a house near Pretoria. Ben (my housemate) and I are workaholics, both churning away at growing our businesses but love to philosophize, social and party with like minded folks now and then. Juliet and Chloe the dogs are loads of fun and love dishing out "kisses". There is indeed a comfy couch to surf and perhaps even a room without a bed for those keen on occupying floorspace :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

4 friends and I took 1 way tickets to Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. We then proceeded to travel to the top tip of Zanzibar. There we partied ... and then bought a small fishing boat called a Ngalawa and sailed down the Tanzanian coast for 7 days. An epic experience that resulted in sinking the boat and recovering it....
