About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Colour my life with the chaos of trouble

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and left home at 18 to see a bit more of the world. Ended up in Ireland where I've been on and off for the last 9 years, trying to travel as much as I can.

I've just graduated with a masters in Architecture and am living and working in Dublin at the moment, visiting Dubai where my fiancée works whenever I get the chance.

PHILOSOPHY

To live a life of few regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Apart from hosting people I join in with some of the couchsurfing events and activities in Dublin.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a good bit of couchsurfing experience through my fiancée who hosted many people in our apartment and I have been on many a CS night out in Dublin. I've also met up with other couchsurfers while travelling, although I prefer staying in hostels and hotels.

Interests

Music, contemporary art, architecture, photography, design, film...any of the creative industries really. Rugby - Hier kom die bokke! I enjoy good food and good - or bad - wine.

Music, Movies, and Books

Top of my list is a TV program called Outrageous Fortune - if you're a fan we'll definitely get on.

I find TV programmes like Peep Show, Flight of the Conchords, 30 Rock, Pulling and The Inbetweeners pretty funny.

Movies...I like watching them, don't really have any favourites.

Music... amongst others I like Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, New Order, Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, Amy Winehouse, Belle and Sebastian, Ian Brown, Bruce Springsteen, Adele, Hot Chip, LCD Soundsytem, Black Kids, Florence and the Machine, The Pixies, Royksopp, Marina and the Diamonds, Ladyhawke.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the world's highest bungee jump and hated every second of it. I've never had a milkshake. I saw my cat bring home a live fish.
