About Me

Love to travel, but can not always get the opportunity...SA is soo far from everything...literally on the other side of the world!!
SO, next best thing....get the mountain to visit Muhammad!!
Love to host and meet new people.
Enjoy new cultures and sharing of cooking experiences. (We are starting to make our own cheese now!!!)
I will encourage our Couch Surfing guests to share their cooking skills and recipes with us. And we will reciprocate accordingly with lovely home cooked South African meals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to welcome travellers to our country in true South African Style.
I would like to learn more about other countries and their people. I enjoy sharing good wine, good food and good company.
We have a very comfortable home with a relaxed atmosphere for any weary traveller.
Come and enjoy our lovely weather and views and breathe in our fresh country air.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

River rafting on the Zambezi River, Zimbabwe.
Yes, I nearly drowned!
Yes, I am not a good swimmer!
And yes, afterwards the guide explains the life cycle of the crocodiles found along the banks of the Zambezi River!
NICE!!!
