About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people from around the world. Improve my own personality.

ABOUT ME

finished studying a few years ago; working full time in Johannesburg. I really enjoy travelling/meeting new people. I'm probably the tallest person you know - over 2m. Laid back, easy going. There's no stupid "rules" and "like this on my Facebook page" etc. for sending me a message or requesting a stay (just don't be a douche).

If I decline, rest assured it's not you, it's just me being lazy or I want to be on my own playing PC games etc. or outside doing my hobbies.

PHILOSOPHY

A healthy body is a healthy mind. I love sport. [I feel like I'm lying saying this - at least it used to be the case - but now work and other takes over most of the time. Oh well]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and cultures.
