I travel often and usually forget to update my calendar so message me anyway.

An introverted, introspective insomniac, I'm busy discovering how to have adventures and use my heart. I love music, cookies and the outdoors. I value intimacy, intellect and connection.

Done with bicycle tour of Switzerland and motorbike tour of South Africa. Next up, bicycle Ireland or motorbike Scandinavia :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting with people and gaining insight into other cultures and hearing our shared and distinct experiences. I also believe the best way to see the beauty of a place is with a local.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Embarked on a bicycle tour of Europe without the slightest clue where I was going. I have done far crazier things since but that was the first time the 'lets do this' voice overcame the 'but what if' voice, the first jump off an ever higher procession of metaphorical waterfalls...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can fix your toaster =P (I put that in as joke but it's happened once already) Also, personal knowledge of the great cultural melting pot of South Africa and it's amazing biodiversity, a relatively global background, smallpipes performances and a repertoire of terrible jokes.
