About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Broaden my horizons, and take myself out of my element.

ABOUT ME

Im a young proffesional graphic designer, have been working in the advertising industry in South Africa. Im easy going, and looking to remove myself from my comfort zone, so as to learn from the world around me.

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment I'm an agnostic thiest, in that I dont know what to believe but I do feel there is something more to the universe than what it seems. Be it intelligent-design/a creator/ or undiscovered quantum physics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, I've given resigned from my full time job, and leave the country I've lived in my whole life in 3 months. October 2008.

Interests

Mainly im interested in Design, but I find its role in activism and public service announcements to be really interestign and fufilling. I'm interested in Philosophy and religion as well.
