Hey my name is Brad. I am from a small town in South Africa called Stellenbosch, wine country and student hub. Im currently traveling the Americas on a break from my university studies. So far I have been to Peru, Ecuador and Mexico looking for good waves, amazing new places and doing some soul searching.

An advocate of good vibes, good times and good homies. Down for pretty much anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Good way to experience local living, meet people and make friends and connections around the world

Interests

I enjoy live music and music festivals, I surf and skate as often as I can. I have a backyard mini ramp back home and love road tripping up the coast to find new waves.
