About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a thrill seeker and love to live in rugged self sustained environments! A place where I can really get to know my surrounding cultures and beliefs. Put a back pack on me and I will be taking the location by storm.

Currently I am traveling on or by hitchhiking from Chile to Colombia 🇨🇴. Watch this quick video to get a better understanding of me🙂. https://youtu.be/sglnnw_Yvio

ABOUT ME

Young, adventurous inquisitive and sociable. I absolutely love my sports. I enjoy the taste of the unknown and crave to explore what's around me. I don't just want a couch,,, I want an experience where both me and you walk away with a good taste in our mouth and keep that connection for years to come. Above all,,, I want to have fun.

PHILOSOPHY

"The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning you didn't even think to ask."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to be full emmersed in the culture and way of life around me. I Am not on to sleep and all day, I am one who wants to be up doing the chores and taking on the responsibilities of that way of life. Above all,,, I want to have fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have seen the absolute brilliance of CS and have now began to build my profile in the hopes that it will better and further my travels elsewhere. I am a huge advocate of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

People with a wealth of experiences. Storytellers. I have a massive knowledge of my cultures and lifestyles in South Africa and I am very proud to share them. I have a real knack for embracing the laborious work of many a society and would be useful to have around to help around:).
