I got into Hip hop at a young age and danced for 15 years of my life. I was able to go overseas and see parts of Chicago, Wisconsin, Leeuwen, Brussels and Heerlen in Holland. After all of that I had to go work and started out in tourism as a tour guide. The youngest qualified tour guide in Cape town at that time. I worked my way out of tourism and worked for Mind pearl which was a call centre doing flight bookings for Delta airlines, after which I left and started working at a shopping mall as receptionist for centre/ mall management for 2 years. After the 2 years were over I worked for a booking agency for tourists wanting to visit the National parks in South Africa and did that for 2 years as well. I ended up back at mall management as a leasing administrator and wiggled into the facilities department starting out as facilities coordinator. Next step was facilities supervisor until I got a promotion and became Assistant operations manager at a mall in johannesburg. Now my wife and I find ourselves based in Pretoria East where I am working as an Operations manager for 2(two) commerical and 2(two) Retail buildings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since i've been in johannesburg I didn't have any family near or close by as Johannesburg is really big, my car broke down and i wasn't mobile and i eventually ended up selling it, I didn't have any friends close by as well, I started going out and exploring Johannesburg nightlife by myself until now that i've grown out of it...largely due to the Uber rates. So now I find myself wanting to be "out there" and meet new people and this is great because I also get to host which i love doing and to actually see people since its just been work and home for almost a year for me.

Edit: I am now staying in Pretoria and will continue with couch surfing.

Traveled to various countries because of breakdancing. 2nd crew to represent South Africa in USA and 1st South African crew to win a competition in Europe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since travellers that visit want to explore and be out and about, i don't think that I should interrupt their routine but I can offer a braai(barbecue) on a Saturday afternoon just before sunset and a few drinks to get you fueld up for the weekend ahead.

i am clued up and familiar with all the hot spots in Pretoria, from your barbecue and party spots to the urban artsy streets to the young hip clubs . Also a couple of good picnic spots with running trails.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Netherlands, United States
