PHILOSOPHY

Try everything once; if you don't like it, consider the possibility that it's an 'acquired taste' and try it again... Unless it's coriander - if you don't like it the first time, you'll never like it - and then we can't be friends ;)

If it doesn't kill you, you should be able to laugh about it afterwards!

I love animals, so as far as possible I don't eat them or their by products.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the couchsurfing concept! I Hope to do some more surfing as soon as I have money to travel again! At the moment I'll have to settle for having the rest of the world on my couch when I'm able to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it! Surfed once in Namibia, hosted surfers, and showed a few surfers around Cape Town; all experiences have been awesome, and I'm looking forward to a whole lot more!

Centres d'intérêt

The outdoors, running and cycling (slowly), hiking, swimming, yoga... I'll try most sports at least once,
travel, meeting people. I like to party occasionally, and and I love a little adrenaline; love the outdoors, and try do my bit for the environment and for animal rights. Passionate about plant-based food. I also enjoy a good conversation, reading and the occasional game of chess.

***If you'd like to request a couple of nights on my couch please use the phrase "OH YES! OH YES!" in you request; it'll show me you've read my profile, and it'll put me a good mood while I'm deciding whether or not to host you!***

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I like movies, when there's nothing better to do!

Not too fussy with music; if I can dance to it, chill to it, or sing along then I probably like it.

I enjoying reading, but don't often get around to it.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Wildebeest migration in the Serengeti was indescribable!
Victoria Falls were absolutely breath-taking!
Kendwa Beach and swimming with dolphins in Zanzibar was awesome.
Snowboarding. Amazing!
1,000km off-road from Ceres to Kimberly in South Africa
Finished a full Ironman, and the Comrades Marathon (89km) a month apart!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I've love to meet anyone who knows that everyone has something to teach, and a lot to learn, about life.

I am always excited to talk about the benefits of a plant-based diet; health, environment, ethics, justice, taste! I can also never run out of things to say or learn about psychology, physiology, science, history...

I can teach to how to juggle :)

I love cooking, so I can make dinner (assuming you're ok with plant-based food).
