I'm a 36yo, man never been married, no kids (yet)
Going to Jo'burg, SA for a 2y contract at IBM, Cresta
I have a history of many sports (best one being soccer, proud National Champion at age 16:) )
Studied PE but never got into teaching
Had a dozen different jobs, I don't (like to) fit in a box ;-)
Still try to live responsibly healthy (food and exercise)
Enjoy music (mainly oldies, 60s) good food and wine, a good book or movie, specially in winter times
Like to hike and ride my bycicle
Travelled around Europe a little, desire to see much more of this awesome world!
Have the sweetest 40yo sister Christien
Quiet and calm by nature, yet always in for an adventure :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best friend just advised me to join up, she has had the greatest encounters through CS
Seems like a good way to get around while in SA, since my budget is rather modest :(
Love meeting new people, discover news outlooks on life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Switzerland for a weekend with some friends
And came back home (1200km) all alone on my bicycle, no preparation, no maps or gps, no cellphone...
Best trip ever!
