Hi! My name is Rob. I love traveling; in fact you could say that the travel-bug bit me hard and didn't let me go! In 2014, I embarked on a 6 week trip to the USA and UK, which turned out to be 1 & 1/4 years, and I ending up spending time in the Bahamas, Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand as well! Since then, I've visited the USA six times, Ireland twice and Bali once.

I run a creative agency, called Cloudbreak Digital. I am currently looking at opportunities to travel while working remotely and stay in Europe for 3-6 months this year. My plan is to Couchsurf initially, meet some cool people and find out the best local spots to hangout, learn about cultures and history, co-work etc. and then find my own accommodation for the rest of the stay.

I enjoy being in busy cities, picking up on the energy of being surrounded by people on the move, making their dreams happens, and also in the middle of nature, surrounded by mountains, or in the sea, surfing and contemplating life and planning what lies ahead.

I'm a pretty easy-going and respectful guy, who likes to make new friends, experience new cultures, their food and drinks. I enjoy going to clubs,pubs, watching live music, surfing and also hiking. I play guitar, so if you're a musician, we can definitely jam together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to meet interesting and fun local people, and experience new cities in the way that the locals do. Likewise, when I'm back home in Cape Town, South Africa - I'd love to be able to do that for other people. I also being in the principle of sowing seeds and paying things forward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015, I spent two months in the Sumatran jungle (Indonesia) in a remote village called Tanjung Setia. I surfed twice a day, meeting people from all over the world, and I even managed to launch a startup with some people I met there! The roads were bad, but somehow the internet was fast!
