About Me

Hello!

After some traveling including couchsurfing abroad, which was the highlight of my one long trip, I want to stay a part of the community.

At the moment I stay in Johannesburg and am happy to host any travelers. South Africa is a crazy but wonderful place, so I would love to share whatever I can to make sure anyone here has a great time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From my own travel experiences I've really learned the value of meeting people from other places. I've broadened my knowledge of the world through these wonderful people and would like to continually add to the community so that I can keep learning and making great memories.
