About Me

I am from South Africa. I spent the last 4 years of my life living in South Korea. I learned how to DJ and I played often in Seoul. I am going home to South Africa to get my studies in psychology started.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When you meet someone from couch surfing you get a local's view of the city and I think that it's way more interesting than just going to tourist trap after tourist trap.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of movies I like thrillers which give you a bit of a mind-fuck.

I like all kinds of music. I DJ a variety of stuff, hip-hop, R&B, House, Funk, Nu Disco, Afrobeats, Dancehall, Reggaeton hell anything if it will make people sing or dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost 60kg in 2011.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to DJ or share music, or DJ for free.
I am willing to help with teaching English or helping out around the house / cooking etc...
I can also explain nutritional topics to you as I have lost a lot of weight (60kg) and I used to run a nutritional coaching business back in South Africa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my language (English and a fair bit of Korean)
I am willing to talk about things which are bothering you. I am planning to become a psychologist after I finish my travelling.
