About Me

Hi I'm currently hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. I've just finished studying Mechanical Engineering at Stellenbosch University and I thought I needed a break!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The South African economy is really not doing well at the moment... google it if you don't believe me!

Interests

Traveling! I've been to Vietnam, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Ireland, Thailand and The United States of America.

  • beer
  • traveling
  • music
  • international relations
  • craft beer
  • international food

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all types of music, currently it's; Drake, Dan + Shay, and always Amy Winehouse!

I love foreign films... subtitles are not that bad!

I'm currently reading book by African writers, I just feel like I haven't read enough of them. Just started reading Born on a Tuesday by Elnathan John.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gotten halfway through the Pacific Crest Trail, while my twin brother back home wrote my entrance exams for university.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach or rather talk about Africa and South Africa, it's somewhere I think everyone should visit!

Learn about the various views of those I meet around the world. I think it makes us better informed and well rounded!

Would love to share novels, movies, music and stories that interest me... Over a nice cold beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything from stories, novels, movies and music from South Africa mad my journeys abroad.

Countries I’ve Visited

Democratic Republic of Congo, Ireland, Lesotho, Madagascar, South Africa, Swaziland, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

South Africa
