Overview
About Me
I am a friendly local who spends most of the weekdays at work. My time is mainly consumed by software development, and you can often catch me typing away behind my laptop.
While relatively homely, I am happy to show my guests around Cape Town and make new friends. I love a good Saturday breakfast at the Company's Gardens, and hold coffee in high regard.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been hosting AirBNB for just under two years now - and I absolutely love the different people and personalities that get to stay with me.
I feel that life is a rich, exciting adventure and I would love to be the catalyst for other people to enjoy theirs.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm not a huge reader (apologies to all the bibliophiles out there) - but my love for music varies depending on the mood or situation.
The Matrix trilogy is by far my favorite set of movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Place 3rd in the world in 2009 for Karate - flew to Switzerland for the tournament
Teach, Learn, Share
Is this akin to live, love, laugh?
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have been a host myself for almost two years, and I feel I know what it takes to host someone in an open and friendly manner. I can associate to many different types of personalities, and can understand cross-cultural nuances while still maintaining clear, cross-language communication.
I am a naturally warm and welcoming person - I meet everyone with a curiosity and a want for adventure.
