Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meeting crazy, sweet and nice people!
ABOUT ME
Adventurous type, love travelling and lived in several countries. Working with international volunteers keeps me young, although I much admit I need some extra time to recover after a big party! I am the proud father of Noah (1999) and Sophie (2002) and love camping and travelling with them. I enjoy the outdoors and going basic but can appreciate some luxury every now and then as well.
PHILOSOPHY
The power of positivity
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to host people, I always have space at my place or in one of our student houses; the more people you know the more opportunities this gives in life, so bring it on.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfed some couches in India, Vietnam and Denmark and hosted some very interesting people at my home!
Interests
walking bare feet, camping, working with wildlife, partying till the sun comes up, traveling, community work, making some money (to travel and eat well)......bit of everything I suppose
Music, Movies, and Books
books are important to me......but pretty straight forward about the rest; I enjoy a good movie and like music in all forms
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hunted with cheetahs in South Africa, stayed with local Dao minority in Vietnam, had monkey for dinner in South America, worked on a sailing boat in the Red Sea, became a father twice, climbed Kilimanjaro, drove a motorbike through Asia.....man, plenty of stuff
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share my knowledge of working with the community, the projects in townships I am involved in with our non profit organization Izizwe Projects, working with wildlife.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A great home close to the beach, interesting conversation, good food.
I prefer to host mature travelers.
