Hi! I first used couch surfing once when my friend and I travelled through the Greek islands by bicycle, I won't look back- it was a fantastic way to meet a wonderful and diverse range of people.

I am South African, working in Law for a charity and speak English and some Afrikaans and Xhosa.

My friend Joe and I are now off to Sri Lanka on our next adventures. We are looking for a place to stay for a night, or also a beer and conversation would be be great. Joe is a doctor and dancer extraordinaire and speak Spanish, French and English. Our interests include laughing, yoga, kickboxing, salsa, philosophy, chemistry, watercolours, history, longshore drift, coastal pathways, cultural exploration and all kinds of weird and wonderful foods.

Would love to host back in the U.K. And am going to try my best to do this in 2018.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survive an elephant charge, (we're talking tusk piercing the jeep)...

Joe hitch hiked to Morocco and is generally doing amazing things by the day, and hour.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is the greatest philosophy. repeat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, music, tea, colourful conversation or black and white kind, or companionable silence.

Otherwise, salsa, origami club or some gentle yoga classes. I usually travel with a travel game or some balls.

We can offer return stays in four different parts of the UK including London. Come on over.
