After finishing university & working in a cubicle for 8 years, I decided to switch things up. Left home in Nov '16 and finally settled down in Langkawi, Malaysia (for now). My goal is to open my own hostel - getting any experience I can now to make it happen

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing experiences with others & making new friends around the world

Interests

Lots of sports (I still play rugby), reading, scuba diving, bicycle touring, bicycle commuting, camping, backpacking, homebrewing, being creative in getting around the world for very little $.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to improve my Spanish. Want to learn how to surf & drive a manual car.

I'm happy to share English/Afrikaans language and I dabble a bit in brewing beer & cider 😊

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some Afrikaans and share lots of stories about my travels. I lived half my life in South Africa and the other half in the US, so I can share my experiences of both.
