Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm looking to learn German and explore Europe while I'm living in Berlin.
ABOUT ME
I'm a very friendly guy. I generally get along with everyone I meet.
I have a distinct love of traveling and experiencing different cultures. So far I've been to England, Scotland, Holland, Germany and Poland and have found each country to be engaging not just on a factual level but on a visceral one as well.
I'm a great lover of music, photography and literature and festivals of any kind! I hope to find myself at a few within the course of my travels.
I love good food, good company and good conversation. Some of my best nights out were spent at a quiet cafe with interesting people trying out local cuisine.
I seek adventure daily and I want to learn as much as I can along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I bungee-jumped off of the Soweto Towers in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I traveled up through Mozambique in a 4x4 with some of the most amazing people.
I sea-kayaked in some of the roughest, choppiest and stormiest seas of Cape Town. While there, I also scaled table mountain.
I attended the Heineken Open'er Festival in Poland and met some of the most amazing people that I have to date.
I have taken game drives and hikes through the Kruger National Park and seen, and been up close to, lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and many other types of wildlife.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some basic German, Afrikaans and English. I can also play guitar and the ukulele and am happy to show anyone a couple of half-remembered songs!
