CURRENT MISSION

in search of a little place called paradise

ABOUT ME

um, yeah, love travelling, and reading, and music and playing my guitar:)

add me on FACEbook: Gabriel Hoosain Khan

I'm pretty chilled out, and nothing is more fun to me than just sitting in the bushveld with my friends, beer and flickering campfire light:)

PHILOSOPHY

" And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for, 'cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment... it lasts forever

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

met this great guy from Denmark when he came to johannesburg- and even though he was only here for a day and and another couch surfing friend took him to all the cool spots and drank maybe too much beer... but that's neither here nor there:)

Teach, Learn, Share

growing up in South Africa- with it's roots in the rainbow nation idea of diversity and multi-culturalism i think that my experiences have made me quite world weary. quite thoughtful about people and how we relate, and i think these experiences and ideas are always useful when meeting other people.

It's a cultural, social and moral exchange and interaction, and only good can come from it!
