About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to go nuts everywhere, care very little about what people think of me (without being disrespectful of course) and really experiencing each place the way i want to, not the way i'm told to!

ABOUT ME

Tall, brown hair, green eyes, blah blah blah. Have been described as rugged (probably cos i don't shave all that often) fun, talkative, drink and party a lot. Make a fool of myself often, have an amazing group of friends all over the world and looking to expand all the time!

PHILOSOPHY

I live by the day, i do things on a whim and don't spend all that much on myself. Not religious but do believe in 'do unto others as you would like done unto you'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Get you guys to South Africa and show you around. This place is incredible and i want as many people to see that as possible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted Americans (the relaxed sort), Europeans from all over who I've never had a problem with - always a pleasure. I myself have only Couch Surfed in Malaysia on my most recent trip - will be doing it again though when I head to France

Interests

Drinking, partying, music, meeting strange people with bizarre idiosyncrasies, spending very little but doing a helluva lot, getting out of my comfort zone

  • cooking
  • partying
  • drinking
  • music
  • languages
  • beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

Into metal, but at the same time jazz, drum & bass and most other music. Just not pop, R 'n B, commercial crap, house or country. Love a good movie but they're more of a distraction than anything else. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is still the greatest! Books, hmmm, Power of One by Bryce Courtney still has to be my number 1...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood on the beach of Likoma island in Malawi and saw Mozambique on the one side, Malawi on another and Tanzania yet another with nothing but crystal, glass water between me and them

Teach, Learn, Share

Absolutely HAVE to learn some languages. Haven't spent enough time in one place to do that yet but after studying, I aim do do exactly that! Can definitely teach people how to bargain and cook on a budget of nothing!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malawi, Malaysia, Mozambique, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Tanzania

Countries I’ve Lived In

South Africa
