I am passionate about mountains, the environment and Africa. I have been to 40 African countries so far, climbing the highest mountain in every country. I am hoping to visit the rest of the African countries soon. Because I believe there is healing in nature, I founded the non-profit organisation Sunrise On Africa's Peaks (SOAPKidz) where we introduce vulnerable children t nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling in Africa and meeting local people - but it was only recently that I was introduced to a group of Couchsurfers and I love the concept. So here I am - surfing as well.
