I am a medical student who loves people too much for my own good and is always busy organizing my next trip between hospital ward rounds...
I also fall somewhere in the category of musician and can play a bit guitar and ukelele, just good enough for me to sing along
Those are the three things that exite me; music, people and some new and beautiful place in the world. I love to believe that I am friendly, outgoing, adventurous, easy to get along with, a bit too impulsive and in a constant struggle between my artistic and scientific mind.

Apparently I love "getting drunk on the souls of earthbound misfits." If you know what that means let me know, but I'm guessing it's true...

I love lame jokes and very clever puns, I get overwhelmed by beautiful places and people and grow fond of people very quickly...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said, I love people and so I want to travel to meet locals, not just see amazing architecture and sites from a tourist bus. Hospitality is a sacred art that the world has somehow lost with individual independence... We need each other, not for a place to sleep, but to change the way you see the world...

Traveling alone

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not a pro guitar or uke player, but am willing to share what I know and even more willing to learn some skills.
I can cook (pffft, who am I kidding, I can't cook) and teach you about our beautiful South Africa and its people.
I have a lot of theories about a lot of things and will be willing to share them if you promise not to laugh .
I love languages and would love to learn a new language.
Actually, I am constantly learning so anything you have to share would be welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, lame jokes, many stupid questions and a little bit of South African warmth.
