Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Someone I hiked with suggested that I should look up Couchsurfing. I did. The concept amused me and I joined.
Every Couchsurfing event I've been to ever since has been epic. I've met people who I will never forget and I look forward to the future conversations and friendships I will find along the way. I enjoy seeing/meeting different cultures and hearing stories and ideas.

Interests

hiking, yoga, hang gliding, slacklining, improv comedy, martial arts, good food, sun shine with a bit of shade on the side. Recently got interested in rock climbing. ... and dancing (tango, salsa, bachata, Kizomba).

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movies, Forest gump, Top Gun, Burn after reading, Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story and lots of Chinese Kung Fu movies with English Subtitles like Hero (2002), Red Cliff, IP Man, Mongol, Fearless or any epic and witty warrior movie. I avoid watching horror/thriller stuff. Into the wild has also been stuck in my head since watching it.

Favorite Music, anything goes! If it nourishes the soul, turn it up! Jazz, deep house, psy trance, a bit of rock, epic music, 80's, 90's, disco.

Favourite audio book, The Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman and anything from Douglas Adams

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned how to fly hang gliders. No engines, just me, the wind and the wing. It took a long time, with plenty of ups and downs, but I stayed dedicated and am still doing it today. I have witnessed views and emotions you can't get in any other form of activity.

Teach, Learn, Share

A quote from Neil Gaiman:

“Sleep my little baby-oh
Sleep until you waken
When you wake you'll see the world
If I'm not mistaken...

Kiss a lover
Dance a measure,
Find your name
And buried treasure...

Face your life
Its pain,
Its pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.”

I am interested to find out how other people live, what they like and dislike.
I'd like to hear about your interests, your career and your hobbies (if any).
I am a fairly active person, and like to go places.
If you are in Cape Town, I can take you on almost any hiking trail you can think of.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time, curiosity and a bit of adventure.
I have an adventurous style of cooking that usually delivers good results.
