Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently host. I offered a couch in my home for the 2010 soccer world cup and had some interesting visitors, the most memorable was Brandon Cox, hell of a guy. Myself and my ex girlfriend hosted 2 awesome Belgian travellers. The list has grown and I've also been hosted which was fantastic. Whenever possible I will be willing to host a fellow traveller.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted probably about 6 times now and I've also met up with couch surfers abroad

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with two old zen hippies in a forest. Visited Puna, India, wore a red robe and meditated.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty stoked about Joburg and anyone that wants to check it out. There's so much this city has to offer that travelers don't have access to. I've been shown around towns in Europe by other couch surfers and it's the little things that matter, like who sells the best waffles.
