CURRENT MISSION
I got married recently then we left South Africa and saw the world. Now it is time to settle again in South Africa.

ABOUT ME
Grew up thinking I had it all figured out.
2.4 kids at age 25, picket fence etc.
That all went out the window during university.
Now i'm just floating along hoping I never do figure it out. I have a real passion for development finance and am working on that right now.

PHILOSOPHY
You should never make an enemy when you can just as easily make a friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Joined CS March, 2009.
I've hosted and surfed on a number of occasions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In Geelong, Australia, and she was not a complete stranger.
Loved the fact that you don't get the normal tourist experience. You really get a pulse of how people live.
I've hosted in Kenya and South Africa.
I've surfed Australia, the UK, France and Morocco.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing in particular. The best thing for me is all the amazing people I have met from all walks of life. There's something to learn from everyone.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always believe in the inherent goodness of people, no matter how many times you are let down. If you can see the good in someone who can't see it in themselves, it gives them the permission to start believing they can be a better person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share interesting stories about our life experiences.
