Resumen
Sobre mí
CURRENT MISSION
Just finished 9 years in South America and currently (May 2023) in South Africa sorting out things before I head to the Caucasus in the last week of May 2023. Planning to explore Georgia and Armenia till mid-September 2023 when I head to Istanbul, Turkey to commence my attempt to walk the Silk Road from Istanbul to Xi'an in China
ABOUT ME
Love travelling (no-stop since 1999) and with that, my photography. Even though my travelling has been mostly work related (guiding, photography, hospitality and tourism) it has just served to fuel my passions as well as make some dreams come true; like my West Africa expedition in 2011 and some epic long treks and trips in South America. Meeting people and learning languages and cultures is something I can never look forward too enough.
PHILOSOPHY
If you're not living on the edge, you're wasting space.
Live your dreams
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I haven't had the opportunity to host and have surfed once with amazing a family and their friends in Sao Paulo, Brazil and had another lunch meet in Lima, Peru. So South America has given me an incredibly good introduction to Couchsurfing - I will still hopefully be able to meet more of the awesome hosts I just read about - whether meeting for a drink and/or trips or whether enjoying their hosting hospitality.
During my time guiding people around Africa, I've met quite a few people involved with CS, hence I signed up too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only two direct experiences and they've been incredible; treated like family and a best friend - just love arriving in a new country and having people I can chat to almost immediately.

Algo increíble que he hecho
many many :))
- Solo expedition from Zimbabwe to Mali through West Africa by road. Epic to say the least. (2011)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones
I love sharing stories about the places I've travelled and the people I've met on the road, in other words, all the things that have contributed to me just wanting to meet more people the more the I travel.
