About Me

I am a Zimbabwean, who graduated with a few degrees from South Africa. I recently moved back to Zimbabwe. I am trying to see the world a few countries at a time, as I enjoy learning from association with people from cultures different from my own.

Things I enjoy include choral singing, badminton, reading philosophy and politics articles, and I am an aviation enthusiast, among other things. I have a long term ambition of becoming an airline pilot, although that now seems very unlikely.

If I find myself in your city, I would be happy to meet up for a conversation over a meal or a few drinks or to travel somewhere for the day.

I am rarely looking for a couch, but if I do, I would love to cook something together with you! I have a welcoming family, open to hosting, but I would also love to just meet and hang out somewhere :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet up with locals wherever I go, and have a taste of that place's uniqueness of custom from the perspective of a person who lives their daily life in that place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to Moscow and Saint Petersburg in the winter. Brrrrr!!!
