About Me

FINALLY settled in Cape Town after more missioning to West Africa!

I have an adorable 4 year old that loves people! So if you don't mind the loud happy shrieks of an almost 4 year old my posi may not be for you, although every person that doesn't like kids loves him! LOL

I have my partner, Gee (she's a real hoot, funloving gal!) living with me, as well as a hermit housemate but there is still another spare room in my home (or couches), swimming pool to chill next to on deckchairs if you like and the nearest beach only a 10min drive, CBD 15mins drive.

PHILOSOPHY

If your feeling down, tell yourself it's impossible to feel like that forever, so why bother? It's a waste of time... I'm my own psychologist :o)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have couch surfed with various hosts whilst in Sao Paulo, Rio and Manaus and all 3 experiences were amazing! We are completely hooked and can´t wait to host when we move to Cape Town in February 2012.

Interests

Travelling, cooking and trying out new dishes discovered on our trip! Action, we dig the action, any adrenalin pumping stuff we're up for. But on the flip side, we like chilling around a fire, chatting and getting ready for a braai, south african for BBQ :o) and my forte I have to say :o) lol..

Music, Movies, and Books

Oo oo, I've only recently started reading again since school, Shannon got me into it again, have read all types and on my sixth book already! Lovin it..! I'm a bit of a 'couch potato' but reading books I make my own picture in my head, thanks Shannon :o). We have a new favourite song every now and again, currently morcheeba's 'enjoy the ride', b-e-a-utiful.!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

No. 1 is now having had a kid - yes, it is actually worth it :)

1) SKYDIVING!!!!!!!!!!! I did my first tandem skydive in December 2010 and Shannon has now done 4 tandem skydives. We want to take it up as a hobby when we get back to South Africa!
2) Buying a campervan on a whim and then spending 2.5 months travelling around Europe

I can change a fan belt on a car without taking the other one off and pretty much anything else I put my mind to
