CURRENT MISSION

I want to continue on this path I’m on; educating young minds across the world. I want to move from country to country, teaching, learning, and interacting with people - in the end I hope to have made a difference in at least one persons life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a nice easy going guy. I love the outdoors, traveling and spending time with friends. I'm considerate, trustworthy and very likeable. I get along with almost anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people from the places I travel to, as well as the people that I host. I also try and save on traveling costs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of acoustic singer/songwriter songs. I love live music at trendy bars/lounges/restaurants. I read, not as much as I want - mostly about mountaineering or great expeditions. I’m always down for a good war movie, or pretty much anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived and worked in 5 different countries. Traveled to many more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about a culture/language that few people know about - Afrikaans. I think I’m rather knowledgeable about current affairs, traveling, etc., and what I don’t know, I’m keen to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many stories of my travels, as well as some travel recommendations. I’m a decent cook, so I can whip you up some to-die-for traditional meals in the kitchen. I don’t know how to bake.
