South African architect-in-progress currently doing something completely different in Amsterdam. I live for barefoot hikes, open roads and late nights. The little things in life make me happy, like just now, when an autumn leaf fell on my lap. Generally addicted to the prettier things (yes, thats from a song).

I’m all about the vibes. Apparently it attracts your tribe. Be honest, be kind and rewind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As of yet, I’m very new to this, but I’ve heard the stories and it honestly seems like there is no better way to travel. Explore the city like a local, finding hidden gems, making new friends; what more could you want?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I felt I was comfortable so I stopped, dropped and moved to Amsterdam. Also, I have a bad habit of going on roadtrips in the middle of the night. The longest one lasted 1013km.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a little about architecture and a lot about how not to go on a roadtrip. I feel like I still have so much to learn, so I’m an eager beaver for any stories and experiences that can help me along this long ass journey we call life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Only thing I’m not willing to share is my toothbrush. Other than that, it’s all good.
