CURRENT MISSION

Wandering purposefully

ABOUT ME

I have recently begun a tour around the world, living and traveling in a Toyoto Land Cruiser. The tour has started in Southern Africa, and I have NO idea where it will take me or how long it will last.

PHILOSOPHY

Every time I think I figured it out, the world expands. - Gift of Gab.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since joining CS, I haven't had a home base from which to host surfers. But, as I travel throughout Africa (and one day, hopefully, the wider world) I would love to use CS to spend a few days in cities with locals or expats, and get to see the place through YOUR eyes.
