CURRENT MISSION

Back at home base in South Africa - travelling locally until I've finished buckling down and can set off on the next set of destinations and family overseas

ABOUT ME

Looking to host travellers and make contact with like minded people so I can share recommendations or so I can offer you the possibility of interesting and crazy adventures in South Africa, whether out and about or more comfortable home and relaxing environments. Love music, love outdoor festivals, love dancing, love chilling in nature, love sunny days, love having a healthy balance of responsibility and hedonism, love playing, love never wanting to grow up tooo much.

I think I'm easy going, like to be both silly and serious, like keeping an open mind, soaking up different experiences, helping humanity where I can. Am trustworthy and have a good sense of responsibility, manners, strong morals etc. despite being just slightly wild.

Have strong opinions on certain topics but always open to new input. Find it relatively easy to put myself into different people's shoes and see the world from different perspectives

PHILOSOPHY

Like to live life with an open mind and soak up different perspectives, blessed with the ability to easily put myself in most people's shoes. Quite influenced and inspired by the philosophy of transcendentalism. At the same time very anti established religion... not fond of judgemental and closeminded people. I believe in the beauty of simplicity and sometimes loathe the society we find ourselves in these days. A misanthrope and ever the optimist, very often a contradiction but that is life as its most basic essence, is it not?

Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, David Henry Thoreau, Richard Bach, George Carlin, Hunter S. Thompson

"Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another." - Richard Bach (Illusions)

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - David Henry Thoreau

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.You can steer yourself any direction you choose. Your on your own, and you know what you know, and you are the one who will decide where you'll go."
- Dr Seuss ;)
