About Me

54 year old male, loves travelling, on my own mostly but also with my life partner. Kids are grown-up and out of the house. I own a boutique hotel in Oudtshoorn. I am very involved in a variety of associations and have to travel frequently. Most of my travels are for Skål International - Skål is a professional organisation of tourism leaders around the world, promoting global tourism and friendship. It is the only international group uniting all branches of the travel and tourism industry. Its members, the industry's managers and executives, meet at local, national, regional and international levels to discuss and pursue topics of common interest. I intend to have maximum fun every day of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people. Travelling today on the South African Rand is extremely expensive due to our weak currency. Being in the hotel industry, I enjoy getting away for the formalities of the trade.
