Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

have a massive network across the coast of South Africa, music, NGOs, Environmental Activists and projects, and the backpacker industry. i feel i can contribute more to the community by sharing my knowledge and network. i can also facilitate exploration of Durban, Cape Town and the Garden Route. finally, i have a massive network of musician friends, so if your interested in SouthAfrican music and the LivePerformance Scene especially, hit me up

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

tho not a formal member of the couch surfing community for long, i have spent much time couch surfing and volunteering at backpackers and sustainable communities.
i have, in previous years, lived in open communes in the city, hosting lots of strangers and old friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent ten weeks training and volunteering at a sustainable community on the garden route.
finding myself out of the comfort zone and into the hart of the natural experience, this experience shifted my horizons, and brought a connection to the natural world, trees, rocks, clouds, animals and humans, that have set me on a new path, more determined than ever to see the new world we all believe in, actually happen
