I am a chemical engineering graduate from the University of Stellenbosch, I finished my studies in 2019 and now I'm travelling the world with one of my friends. I am and open-minded individual who loves to travel and experience different cultures of the world, I'm always looking for an adventure and don't want to see the world only doing 'touristy' things.

I'm an easy going guy, neat when it comes to my living spaces, down to earth and don't need much and I love adventures.

My hobbies include paragliding, surfing, hiking and some cliff jumping.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment my friend and I just finished studying and want to travel the world and gain valuable experiences, before we start our adult working life. Since we just finished studying, we're on a tight budget and thus no hotels.. plus as described in my bio, I don't want to experience the world only from an tourist perspective, so I think CS will help with that :) We plan to visit Europe, USA and Canada, and once we finish our travels, my home in Cape Town will be open for CS! :)

You can find my friend, Steyn Olivier, and I on instagram: @steynolivier08 and @wiansmith respectively.
