About Me

I'm a chilled out guy. Honest. No bullshit. No hidden agenda. Smoker (deal with it). Burner and as such I try to live by the eleven principles and I expect any prospective guest to do the same in my house (if you're not sure what those are, look them up, basically common sense). I'm generally a busy guy because of the work that I do but will try my best to make your stay in South Africa a memorable one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a great way to meet travellers and hear their interesting stories as well as share some of your own. I think it's also potentially a great way to meet people when you are travelling, yes perhaps to make it more affordable, but perhaps more interesting for me is being invited into someone's home and possibly getting a peak into how they live, eat, sleep, think, the culture etc. thus making your travels more fulfilling than say staying in a hotel and only socialising with other tourists.

Seen Burmese Karen refugees seeking help in the free primary health clinic I volunteered at on the northern Thai-Myanmar border.

Teach, Learn, Share

Each one teach one. See one... Do one... Teach one. What do you want to know?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Scintillating conversation 😂 and I can assist with navigating the city and its people and pointing you in the right direction and helping you get there as far as possible, a safe person to contact, a hot homecooked meal and a warm safe bed.
