I am here to learn and grow.

I am born and raised in South Africa.

Traveling around to world to meet new people, grow and challenge my current perspectives. This is what has brought me to Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from completely different walks of life.

To further aid my immersion into an entirely unfamiliar culture and environment.

Interests

Sports - tennis, squash, lifting, running, golf
Computer gaming - WoW, quakelive, CoD
Other - reading Quora

Music, Movies, and Books

I've consumed most mainstream movies and series, which is why it may be more appropriate to list my lesser known favorites: Silicon Valley, Workaholics, Broad City, Californication, Futurama, The last man on earth, Vice Principals, Rick and Morty, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Some of my favourite movies: Into the wild, Gladiator, Wolf of Wallstreet, Inception, Good Will Hunting, Interstellar, A Beautiful Mind, Boyhood, McFarland USA, Whiplash, Oldboy, Forrest Gump.

Authors - Victor Frankl, Dale Carnegie, Jeffery Archer, Bill Bryson, Brian Greene.

These movies movies and authors were great for me because they forced me to reevaluated something I thought I knew or understood. They made me feel.

Music - EDM. Started off with Hardstyle back in 08 and slowly shifted between dubstep, progressive and electro house music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone solo backpacking in entirely new countries. Twice.

And within each journey I experienced a multitude of unique life experience such as:
Korean wedding. Eating and Drinking with Korean gangsters. Being hopelessly lost in a foreign cold country with a dead phone at night. Falling on my face for a mile straight while to learn how to ski. Breaking my finger while ski’ing. Talking about a recursive process with Eastern European gangsters in a dodgy bar in Prague. Meeting people similar to myself from opposite ends of the globe. Only pair of shoes breaking on the first day of a 20 day eurotrip. Having a dip into a frozen lake.

Being cut by a foreign metal object, almost killed by a rogue coconut and in the middle of a fight between two Indians locals. All in the same day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been an extensive reader of Quora for quite a few years now. So along with my own stories, I have hundreds of other stories archived in my mind.

I am also more than always happy to enter into academic debates or discussions on any number of topics.
