About Me

Another exciting destination! I have moved to Kosi Bay, northern KwaZulu-Natal, where I am setting up a backpackers lodge and glamping site. If you love living simply, I can always put up another tent.
I love animals and have lots, so please keep that in mind! I do not apologise for dogs on the sofa!
I know a lot about the history of South Africa and about its cultures, and can probably answer most of your questions. I also like cooking and would like to continue the tradition that Andrew established of cooking wonderful meals for our guests.

Yes, this is out of the way! On the border with Mozambique, and part of South Africa's first world heritage site, iSimangaliso Wetland Park.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

TO provide independent travelers to South Africa with an interesting place to stay and swop stories, insights and experiences. i hope to find like-minded people when we go travelling, which i want to do later this year.
