Overview
About Me
Hey!! South African. Have never really couch surfed.
Been working hard for the past few years and taking some time to visit communities, cities, colleges and walk a bit.
Into surfing + general yoga practice + trail running
Interested in people and optimism, platforms of exchange and frameworks for existing.
Usually based in Cape Town ..Run a design/manufacturing consultancy.
Increasingly arts focused. Love being in water.
Brought up well:)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because hotels are impersonal and because i haven't tried this before.
Couch surfing makes it possible to meet people that i otherwise would not have.
Meeting people makes my world bigger and my perspective broader - I get a lot out of discovering the nuanced perspectives of other people.
