About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See. Experience. Learn

ABOUT ME

I was once wrapped up in the corporate world, but found a way to free the shackles and start living a better quality life. My drive is to find a balance between work and travel. Life is too short to live in the rat race.

PHILOSOPHY

I really believe that we make our own luck in the world. That we are personally responsible for where we find ourselves. Keep putting out good vibrations and they'll keep coming back to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host surfers while I'm parking off at home. My pad is located in the middle of Cape Town and is close to bus/train stations.This year I'll be backpacking around S.America for 4 months and I'll be looking to do as much Couchsurfing as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently had my first couch surfing experience in Mozambique. The most amazing host and location made me an instant believer and fan of this wonderful community.
