We are two South Africans (Rachel and Jandré) who have just finished school last year and are now traveling through Southern Africa for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have been volunteering in Malawi for a while, spending all our savings on living expenses and would like to travel back to South Africa via Zambia, Botswana and Namibia and cannot afford to pay for accommodation as well as transport. We are also interested in getting to know other people living in Africa.
