Hello,

I'm Doug.

Been travelling now close to 5 years backpacking and really love to move around and meet lovely new people.

I love to cook with passion and I make really tasty dishes wherever I go :D

Overall I'm a pretty cool South African with a big warm heart. Kind, caring and full of interesting conversational topics.

Respectful of others and seeking mutual respect from others too is a key motto I guess.

No need to bite your tongue around me unless you like to, however I appreciate openness and direct speaking.

Known for always being there when people need me. Being reliable, friendly, helpful, my eye contact meditation, massages, drumming, advice and really long hugs, yeah yeah I have also been a Cuddle Therapist by profession.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to meet awesome like-minded people to build lasting friendships.

I love inspiring people with my conversations of personal experience as well as anything else.

I am a light worker, so here to make a real difference in everyone's lives in whatever way possible, although too I am on a journey to find like-minded individuals to help me, so we can help the many.

Whatever skill you have, show me your passion and let's see where we can go from there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met many Rainbow Family around the world 🗺

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can teach others how to live happier and how to cook some yummy dishes! Plus sooo much more

I love to share knowledge that I have stumbled upon along my journey in life. I am here to inspire many! Inspire me too! I love to learn.

Advice, well I'm kinda known as a spiritual hippy although all in good ways. Here to help you grow. I have a lot of knowledge about nature and all things wild.

Hugs, another thing I am known for. A good propper hug can connect you more than you know. It can break down so many barriers. Surrender to the connection. Feel, relax and release.

Eye Contact Meditation is where my meditation connection is really at. Let me sit down with you and connect. No spoilers here. Time to be present and not get distracted.

Massages, another thing I do like to offer. I am respectful of your boundaries set. Just unwind. Relax.

Natural healing, conversations, teas, herbs and more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer lasting friendships. Movie watching. Playing Music be a companion to somewhere, or anything you need help with.
