About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work work work.
Just kidding, travel as much as I can, explore and do a lot of adventuring.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very chilled down type of guy and things does not bother me easily., but I do like living on the edge and like to take life in the fast lane.
I do not regularly smoke, but do enjoy a cigar when the opportunity arises. I have some friends in local bands and we love talking some music, so naturally when the opportunity arises we can put up one hell of a party! But do not be fooled, I am not a complete part animal...
I enjoy playing hockey and I am up for any adventure sports such as rowing, skiing or hiking. I can spent hours on end reading up on new stuff on the net or learning new things, which some times takes up most of my time...
I am one of three siblings and my father is a preacher and my mother a teacher. I have lived for 12 years in an cold Eastern Cape town, Queenstown. And after that I have lived for 6 years in a town Kathu. I studied in Pretoria for 6 years and obtained my Masters from the University of Pretoria. Now, I am an intern at BCX in Cape Town, and I try to explore it here as much as I can!

PHILOSOPHY

I am hungry for experiences, knowledge and new things. You only life once, why not enjoy it and life to the fullest which you're at it?!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is available as far as possible, and if not, will try my best to find you one with my friends, and i do hope that you would receive me on your couch when I am in need of one..?? If you just want to grab a drink, I do know where to find the best beer in town!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had some great experiences throughout France and met even greater people!!

Interests

Some of my interests are music, film, traveling, science and any interesting facts. I do enjoy my red wine. And a good beer on its time has done no one any harm...

Music, Movies, and Books

Any new folk, country, blues or rock music.. Something in the likes of Mumford and Sons, Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club or Chvrches.
Give me any Chris Nolan movie and I am fine. Interstallar, Inception, Shutter Island, Batman.. Otherwise anything such as Fight Club, Predestination etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A traveler always should have a great story at hand, so why not meet up and I can give you a proper story. A teaser would be driving up to the French Canadian country-side for a quick 3 day camping and hiking trip, spotting some moose, bears and epic landscapes!

Teach, Learn, Share

Give me a guitar, piano, bass or even a ukulele and I will teach you to play something on it... I will try to teach you something in the biological sciences. OH and give me some ingredients and I will make you a home cooked South African meal.
