About Me

Where do I start, love meeting new people old and young, so much to be learned from both! Love adventure and exploring new ideas, places and people. Sharing information and getting the AHA moment

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and I hope to provide a couch for those who need such an experience. I've hosted and been hosted through friends that own backpackers. Great experiences with both. There's no better way to jump into a culture than to know a local and be part of the culture and country.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love alternative but mostly most music, there are so many movies that I have enjoyed but the ones that stick out are the ones that leave you for months or days on end thinking about the possible outcome. Books that make you wonder!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I have done is teaching my daughter to explore the world and embrace it. To be open-minded about cultures, people and places. Also to give her the tools to be a responsible self suffienct social human being.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you ever want to see the countryside of Transkei - do it by motorbike - off-road - breathtaking
