About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have just returned after an 8 month trip in the USA! It was truly life changing and just absolutely incredible. I am now back in Cape Town to assess some opportunities that have come about. Not sure where the travel bug will take me next!

ABOUT ME

I have been an independent person for many years and have spent most my time developing my career. I've now decided that it's time to explore the world to develop my people skills and of course myself. I'm on a mission to meet as many people as possible to diversify myself and figure out how the world works in all its madness!

I am an extremely hard worker and accept anything I haven't done or learnt before to be a personal challenge waiting to be completed.

PHILOSOPHY

If you are not learning, you are not living. Meet someone, teach something, try something, fail at something. Everyone has the ability to be creative when they observe the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I Couch surfed all along my trip in the States and found this to be such an incredible platform to meet people while learning about the world. The kindness that people showed me while being so far from home definitely sparked something within me and I now hope to pay it all forward!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have gone to an island in the Seychelles for a month to rehabilitate a portion of the islands forest. We planted 1000 trees, potted 1000, cleared 2 hectares of alien forest and just had an amazing time!!!!

Sailed across the Carribean sea on a 40 foot catamaran from the British Virgin Islands to Miami with no prior experience. 8 day voyage of choppy seas and storm dodging!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A friendly and curious personality always interested in meeting new people to discover their stories. I feel the more variety of people we get to meet, the more depth we create to our own personalities. I will help out with any chores! I am a handy man so if there is anything you need help with I will happily lend a hand.

Cayman Islands, Cuba, Mozambique, Seychelles, Turks and Caicos Islands, United States, Virgin Islands, British, Virgin Islands, U.S.
