Overview
About Me
I am a 35 year old South African/Austrian that has been travelling central Europe and the USA since September 2018 with my partner (Ondine) :) I am an introvert and Ondine is and extravert so it works out well. I love adrenaline sports and have licences in a few. My passions are dogs and carpentry. I enjoy beer and learning about different countries histories and their current politics. I am not religious but strongly believe in Karma. Pay it forward.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am travelling as much as I can before I have to return into the system :( Over the last year of travelling I have grown to really enjoy people and learn about their customs and cultures. This is new to me as I was very introverted however now as I grow older I realise that everyone is on their own journey :)
