My name is Otto, I grew up on a farm in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. I’ve grown up in nature and am always finding a way to find my way back to it. Currently planning my first bike-packing trip, setting out along the Wild Atlantic Way and super excited to embrace the adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It’s a great way to solo travel and meet locals and make friends
