About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making jobs for people

ABOUT ME

roughly 30 years old, have lived in cape town my whole life, till i moved to Joburg. Im a lank chilled out cape town type person. I can see the sea from my house but i think i take it for granted. Iv travelled a bit but want to do much, much more, and theres nothing I love more than finding a new surf spot and surfing it with one or two friends, that makes me happy

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Crap this is hard: Surfing, surfing, wakeboarding, soccer, tennis, trying to learn golf, other sports, listening to music, good food, good beer, other alcohol, bad beer, partying, breathing, traveling, sleeping, movies, cars, stamp collecting, in that order. laughing and general talking shit, but i also do enjoy the occasional proper conversation about real things, making up theories etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock and all the sorts of sub genres people keep coming up with, also electro, 90's 80's 60's maybe a bit of 70's here and there. Also anything live, it doesnt matter what.

To watch movies like the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is why i was put on this earth. Snatch trainspotting fear and loathing into the wild. Comedies action etc etc I got lazy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up new years day on lake Malawi to a full circle rainbow after one of the worst nights of rain and shitty ferry ride drinking petrol out of alcohol bottles (not real petrol but it probably would have worked)

Cape to Cairo on public transport with 2 friends.
