CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy it!

ABOUT ME

She's Czech, I'm South African. We're married and have two small kids. We are currently living in a tiny flat in the very funky neighbourhood of Shimokitazawa, just west of Shibuya in Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately we can't host at the moment because we don't have space.

PHILOSOPHY

Loving others as we love ourselves!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted many people and couchsurfed in a couple of countries. We often had friends and family sleeping over in Prague (where we used to live) so we thought we'd take it to the next level by joining couchsurfing! It's been awesome so far and we've learnt a lot.
