CURRENT MISSION

Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.

ABOUT ME

An itinerant individual, whom is taking a break from the rat race to explore the world and people. Currently, I am living in Cape Town, South Africa. I work in Cape Town and I have been doing some traveling around Southern Africa. Very soon I will be heading to South America and Central America to work on my Spanish and work in a Medical Clinic.

PHILOSOPHY

In the world of routes, a beautiful landscape means: an island of beauty connected by a long line with other islands of beauty.
In the world of roads and paths, beauty is continuous and constantly changing; it tells us at every step: 'Stop!'

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No actual stays at another CS site...yet. So far I have used it for meet ups and finding travel companions.

Interests

Fortifying an edifice of lifelong education, rock climbing, running, yoga, trekking and all sports really. I like to play, less to watch. I also enjoy armchair philosophy, art and literature. I am a very heavy reader.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really a favorite listing kind of person. Cloud Atlas most recent book I read and loved. The bands I find myself listening to most frequently: Should Out Louds, Broken Social Scene, Menonema, The Arcade Fire, The Tallest Man on Earth, Florence and the Machine, Black Keys, The National; I really like music so I could go on forever. I listen to KEXP and the Current, as well as read music blogs like blogtheque.com and pitchfork.com, if you know those, then I am sure we will find our music most agreeable.
