Meu portugues é muito pobre. . . mas estou ansioso para aprender!

Fun, adventurous, and eager to meet new interesting people! I am always down for a good time, a few beers, a barbecue (barbie / bbq), and, most importantly, a couple of laughs and good banter - but, then again, who isn't?

Grew up in South Africa and went to university in Europe. Worked in the world of corporate law and am now travelling South America before studying further in 2019 (Master in Laws), which will hopefully lead to a Ph.D.

Why am I travelling South America? Well, because I've always had a fascination with it. Rumour has it too (according to my father) that my family historically lived in Brazil and Argentina, so I am eager to explore my "roots".

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet interesting people, see unique spots, and improve my Portuguese and Spanish - so, what better way to do so than through CS and its vibrant community!

教，学，和分享

Happy to teach English and give tips about travelling Africa, South-East Asia, and Western Europe - and any other life advice I might have. As said, I am eager to learn Portuguese and Spanish

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can cook (moderately well) and clean (a lot better). Happy to help teach English and, most importantly, serve as good company, a laugh and an above-average drinking partner.
