About Me

I'm a South African expat, currently living in Portugal (since Aug 2023). I love the outdoors and doing any kind of adventure sport or activities (climbing, abseiling, diving, biking, rugby, etc)... I try to be as active as possible, but i also love just to chill with friends and taking it slow and being laid back (you'll easily find me on the couch with a bottle of red wine infront of me and some cheese and crackers)... I like meeting new people and when i travel i like immersing myself into the cultures of the places i visit...
My couch is your couch =)

PHILOSOPHY

Stop coasting, Start soaring!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I give you a place to sleep, i'll take you out for some local food and drink.
You’ll get to enjoy my house and if I have time I can join for some tourist activities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had this random experience in Honduras where i asked a cab driver if i can sleep at his place and he said: "no problemo!". So i slept at his place in this little shanty town, next to Tegucigalpa, it was great! Needless to say, he was'nt a CouchSurfing member, but he definitely had a couch =)
