About Me

Sois heureux ;)
A professional person by day who works hard and plays hard. I'm pretty easy going, although I know what I want and I believe impossible is not an option in life :)

I have grown up in Cape Town, so I know the city fairly well. For one year of my life I lived in the USA, and I also have been on travel vacations to Bali, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, New York, Vegas, California, Grand Canyon, France and Italy. I have also experienced many wonderful adventures including skydiving, surfing and skiing. I have an absolutely indescribable love for Paris!

As a host, I am happy to host you, however please note that my availability to host depends very much on my training and race (marathon) schedules. I don't host anyone during these times unless they are also running the same race. I can also only accommodate 1 CS'er at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting authentic, interesting, genuine people with a real adventurous heart and love for travel. To spend time with those who understand what a big relief it is to be able to rely on someone in an unknown place while travelling by yourself.

I in turn love hosting people who come to explore my diverse and beautiful city, Cape Town. I've hosted travellers many times before, albeit informally and not that many times officially through CS. I love exploring new adventures in my city with my friends!

Interests

Skiing, running, hiking, biking, surfing, gyming, singing, dancing, eating, flying, - almost anything active, social and adventurous. Skiing and surfing are everything :)
