I love people. I love meeting different people from around the world and getting to know more about them, their country and their culture.

I love to travel and see new places, explore mountains and discover beautiful natural places.

So I became an English teacher because it allows me the travel the world meeting fantastically interesting people, both children and adults, and see incredible places. And when I work in my home country (South Africa) interesting people from all over the world come to me. It's a fantastic life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to help people to travel independently without having to spend too much money. I want to share the places I love and the little hole-in-the-wall places I have found. And I want others to do the same for me.
