Friendly, relaxed and like to meet new people over a beer with bad puns

Grew up on a farm, studied a computer science and statistics degree, specialized in IT for my honours degree and started work in the city of Pretoria as a software developer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would pay hotel prices just to stay at a couchsurfers home, it really is that much better to interact with the locals

Interests

My first major travel experience was a trip through the south of Germany and into Austria. I traveled alone but it was great fun to see places like Mülheim and Haigermoos, which aren't tourist hotspots at all. I really enjoyed wandering off the planned route, some hidden sights were spectacular!

So i want to try out new experiences wherever possible and learn as much of the culture wherever possible
