I am a masters student at the University of Cape Town, studying sustainable mineral development. I am incredibly interested in different places and cultures, understanding how people exist in different settings and situations. I grew up in Nairobi and Cape Town and love travelling. I also love music and being social. Also, I really love being active and being outside. Football, hiking, surfing, ji-jitsu, rock climbing, anything really.
I enjoy talking and reading and drinking and being. Very easy going guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because it allows you to meet real life people in the cities that you travel to, and its cheaper, and funner. Its also nice acting like a normal person when in another city, and meeting normal peoples.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent two weeks in the desert building an artwork of three huge figures made out of alien vegetation. It was for a art music expression festival called Afrika Burn.
I did a masters thesis, which is quite amazing yet solo and from the outside boring.
I camped in a lightening storm in the Drakensberg.
