American expat living in Plettenberg Bay, along South Africa's Garden Route.

Enjoying small beach town living while conducting my coastal conservation research!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling (locally & afar) plus meeting new people, & prefer to have more authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences. I've found spending time with locals is the best way to go about this, & has always been a great experience!

Thus, I also enjoy doing the same for visitors in my area.
