Overview
About Me
I enjoy the outdoors and exploring. I find it fascinating to meet people from all sorts of backgrounds and share stories. I am very proud of my country and love to show people around and try and demystify some of the quirks of South Africa.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love the way this site provides a platform for making new friends wherever you may be. I hosted a lot of people when I lived in Cape Town and had some really great experiences. It's interesting to hear someone's perspective on all the little things you consider normal.
