Overview
About Me
I am a super-easy going, enthusiastic artist from Cape Town, South Africa.
Currently lecturing art in Cape Town
I have a cat, a scooter, two mountain bikes, a saxophone, an insatiable curiosity for the world around me, a keen eye for beauty and a good and accepting energy.
I love crazy missions and general tomfoolery.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have met so many amazing people from all over the world. The most memorable experiences of any journey I have undertook are the shared experiences. I live for exploring new places, gathering more ideas for life and inspiration for my work.
In terms of a place to stay i really don't need much... A couch, a shower and someone with some kick-ass local knowledge.
I'm a great cook (even if i say so myself) and I'd be willing to make you delicious food in exchange for stories of adventure. Will help with anything else. (chores, cleaning, DJ'ng, spiritual guidance, whatever). Also willing to make a financial contribution if that is necessary.

Art, Mountain biking (downhill and cross-country), home-brewing, hiking, Traveling, Sight-seeing, Touring, SCUBA, motor-bikes!!!!!, existential philosophy, Afrika Burn (South Africa's version of Burning Man) etc, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
SCUBA dived with bull (Zambezi) sharks. No cage. And took a motorbike through the desert for a few days.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know plenty of amazing people and places around the Western Cape Province and will be more than willing to show as many of them to you as you can handle.
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you are willing to work at it I can teach you how to draw!
I can cook and fix any basic problem on your car or bike. Or simply give it a good service. I am currently keeping a 1983 car on the road at home.
And as a generally well traveled, self-employed person I'm sure ill have some wisdom's as well.
