EDIT: Many visitors, I'm back now.

I'm a recovering stockbroker that decided that money doesn't make the world go round. Now instead of looking at people as dollar signs, I see them as opportunities to learn something new. I'm a South African that lives in the United States and I have an incredible passion for life and the experiences/people that make it the awesome journey it is. I just moved to Seattle and trying to get on my feet. Hopefully, this will be another great chapter in my journey in life!

SIDENOTE: I'd prefer folks with reviews, but I'm open to meet any of ya'll and take it from there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet some awesome folks that are doing some awesome things! The community really helped me out when I moved here, so I just want to give back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Escaped the glamour of being a stockbroker to be a better person and add more value to my life. Best decision ever. Other than that I moved to the US with $300 in my pocket and avoided becoming part of the system.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do a little bit of coding, mostly wordpress stuff right now. I'm from South Africa, so anything you want to know about all dat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty good cook and would be happy to cook some South African meals :)
I can also share a great attitude.
