CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible!

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as a very, very outgoing guy. I get bored easily being in the same place, doing the same thing. That's why I love travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not really a guy for quotes, but this one is very near and dear to who I am:

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only hosted a couple of surfers, but looking forward to doing a bit of surfing myself come winter vacation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't surfed yet, but love hosting!

Interests

People!
I just love people. Meeting new people, making new friends. I thrive on being social. Heck, I even love people watching, sitting in a coffee shop in busy Seoul and just watch people walk by for hours. I love spending time outdoors, be it the beach, bush-veld, mountains, forests, wherever I can be in nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Korea to live and work here for a year (which is probably gonna end up being 3 or 4 years) was a pretty spontaneous decision and by far the best I've made in my life. Nothing could've prepared me for what I was going to experience. Stepping foot on that plane and being surrounded by only Asians I got my first bit of culture shock. And then from there it just multiplied, ten folded, but in the most amazing way!
