About Me

ABOUT ME

Conrad is a kind and generous soul who loves travelling and new adventures. Intelligent, witty and a loyal friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was first introduced to Couchsurfing while living in Thailand. I hosted a few people and was fascinated by their travel stories and adventurous spirit. Subsequently, I used Couchsurfing in China, Venezuela and USA. It is tough travelling on South African currency, so, as a poor teacher, Couchsurfing allows me to kill 2 birds with one stone - I get to meet wonderful people, hear their stories, learn their culture, AND save a few pennies. Win-win.

Interests

My interests involve sailing, travelling, riding motorbikes and SCUBA diving.

  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading mostly thrillers or classics, but will read anything interesting and well written. Busy reading Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. Next on my list is To Kill A Mockingbird.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving with Tiger sharks in open water.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach water sports, I would like to learn new cultures and I can share travel stories and my infinite wisdom.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tales of apartheid, life in Darkest Africa, and I can dissect the political quagmire into understandable, digestible pieces.
