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.

Interests

Thoughts and ideas and how they settle in the brain
Some art
Spaces
Super realness like a kitsch Italian restaurant being run by an Italian person
How people set up their lives
Downscaling big production!
