I'm a fun and adventurous guy who loves to live life to the fullest! Going through life with a "Work smart, play hard" motto and believe "the core of man's spirit comes from new experiences" (corny, I know, but true!).

A day passed without learning something new OR doing something good for someone else- is a day wasted!

I pretty much get along easily with anyone and always keen to meet new people.

I still have no clue what I want to do with my life, but I'll be honest: I'm having a blast and loving life whilst finding out!

(N.B. Side-note on common courtesy: Be considerate and clean-up after yourselves during your stay. Whilst I can comprehend that most travelers are on a low budget, if you are only looking for a place to stay in order to get free meals or amenities, then don't request with us. Although we are generous, we don't need "spongers" taking advantage)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The traveling bug has bitten me, so this is a great, affordable way to see the world, meet new people and learn about new cultures and experiences what the CS community has to offer and from me to offer the same to travelers (keen on seeing Mozambique, where I'm currently based with my wife Jinny).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's difficult to choose one, but I would say the wildest one was a 250km self-supported multistage ultra marathon (Racing The Planet) in the country Georgia and also Finland. A close 2nd would be the road trip from my hometown in South Africa to Mozambique on a 110cc Vuka Scooter, which took me 3 days. =D
