About Me

Hello!

This is my first time actually trying to use couch surfer!

I returned to South Africa at the beginning of January after being overseas for a number of years.
Stuck in SA, for the time being, I am travelling when I can to get back in touch with this lekker country!

I am working remotely during the week and getting in as many braai's as humanly possible over the weekend.

Taking this time to plough through as many books as possible, get fit again and generally get back in touch with my self. (Yeah yeah I know its Cliché but who doesn't love a little Kitsch)

I would be most appreciative if you would consider me as a guest at your establishment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being stuck in SA has left me in a somewhat tight financial spot. While still earning I am not able to fund the trip to revisit this lekker country the way I would like. After being gone for 3+ years I am determined to see as much as I can!

I am however no freeloader and like to leave a small something is thanks for my hosts.

Interests

After an injury kept me out of gym for some 5 months I am very keen on getting fit again!
I adore reading.
