Hi my name is Michael, and I'm a fun-loving engineer from South Africa! I am enthusiastic, energetic and super positive. I love meeting new people from different places, exploring cities and being in nature!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always dreamed of travelling in Italy and meeting locals/exploring local towns and places. I joined couchsurfing because a friend recommended that it is an excellent way to meet cool people, and to have lots of fun while travelling!
