I love going on adventures, and I'm planning a cycle tour from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam (hopefully next year). I've just got to work out how to take my surfboard along with me. Passionate about the ocean, and my life is centered around it. I'm a qualified lifeguard, I love surfing and I've been spearfishing a couple times. I also help show kids (who often can't swim) the world beneath the waves through IAMWATER.

I've got quite an analytical, and inquisitive nature, and I like hearing opinions that are different to my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

haha, to be honest; free and friendly accommodation when I'm travelling. But also would be really cool to stay with locals and experience their countries from a different perspective.

I also am very proud of my home country, South Africa, and would like to showcase it to visitors.
