About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently in Cape Town, South Africa

ABOUT ME

I joke a lot, laughter is good, so don't take us seriously, but you will know when I am. I'm into original music, I love stringed and percussive instruments, jamming open mic sessions, trying new bars, meeting interesting peeps and participating in party games. I can let my freak out if there's grace, as its my job description to be entertaining. Most people seem to find me ok, few don't. I like wheat beer, healthy food and I enjoy tobbacco. I'm still African so forgive me if drag a deer carcass into your kitchen and dance around your heater in animal skins.. kidding.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. I am you and you are me. Don't be an ass and do not be a flake. Live, love, feel, risk, do... allow yourself these treats!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to cook, bring in a 12 pack or what, and helping out with whatever, I can teach some cool ass Afrikaans or Xhosa expressions in case anyone visits my country, maybe share a story or a tip or 2. If your energy is open then I'm at my best.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far its been great! I'm currently on the road now, so big thanks to those who hosted. If you can't host, I understand.

Interests

All I'm interested in is seeing love and honesty around me all the time, that makes my heart glad, and feeling good, or just feeling... then I have inspiration for life and the by-products of it...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I received genuine applause for a gig that I thought didn't go so well. Seeing Central Africa and Turkey from the window of a plane. Seeing the ground rush towards me after I jumped from a bridge. Feeling the thrill of taking a chance... feeling that risk.. inhaling that fear... and experiencing the outcome... good or bad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in being honest when sharing knowledge, ideas, opinions and viewpoints. We are here for each-other, to love one another and to help one another get through... its the sweetest gesture and probable purpose of humanity, but thats my philosophy... (I think I have my info in the wrong boxes..)
