About Me

I am a South African who loves to travel and experience different cultures and ways of life. I relate well with people from diverse groups and ages. I had been working at an information stand in London Euston for Virgin Trains, was an awesome job ,got to help people all day and I learnt a lot about London.

Just left the job and am now doing a mixture of Helpx and couch surfing as I travel around the UK and try find a permanent job here and place to stay.

I'm easy going and love sharing travel stories and adventures. Will also love to tell you about South Africa :) Very into music but mainly chilled stuff now. I prefer the ocean/beach surf kind of vibe but still enjoy exploring cities. I am not that into partying but enjoy a good laugh and a few beers or some good South African wine. Life is too short to drink cheap wine ;)

Eat just about anything but would love to have a braai (BBQ)with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had my own businesses back in SA, quite stressful and my wife is from the UK and came back last year and I am over here trying to sort things out with her.

Years ago I found travelling really helped me remember what's important and want to get back into it. I believe you can learn something from everyone you meet. The world is so beautiful and I would like to see all of it, unfortunately I am not a billionaire, so if I have to, will couch surf my way around the world :)

The best thing about travelling is actually the people you meet and friends you make :)

Would gladly show you around my country, but even better, the wife and my plan was always to open a B&B in SA by the coast, so after 3-5 years of working over here when I am back I will certainly host you for free in my B&B :)

I am hugely passionate about South Africa :)
