Born and educated in South Africa, currently living in Seoul while traveling through Asia. I'm immensely curious about the world and its inhabitants, anxious to learn about its people and cultures. I'm often labelled as friendly and easy-going (from credible sources, I promise, haha), very open to new experiences, and highly optimistic when faced with whatever situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To induce myself into the true and authentic experiences of places, within its cultures, with its people. Hoping to learn from, as well as to teach and share my life experiences my hosts.

Interests

Anything and everything design-related.
Avid photographer.
Snowboarding, hiking, sport and any other form of physical activity.
Having good conversation and a good laugh.
Indulging in all the food I can get my hands on (NOT from your fridge of course).
Creating new experiences that I will remember when I'm old to tell my grandchildren, only to have them ignore me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure how to answer this. I've done many amazing things, considering the fact that I'm pretty pleased and often overwhelmed with most experiences I've been fortunate to embark on.

I think I'm a pretty badass snowboarder, I often wander aimlessly and find myself in "life-threatening"/ risky situations. I'm also fortunate enough to have/ and develop relationships with inspiring and enthusiastic individuals around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be delighted to share my knowledge of:
Photography
Architectural philosophy
The English language

I'm anxious to learn about:
Culture and ways of life
History and development of place
About my host

I'd like to share:
My general interests, passions and knowledge, all through great conversation and some left over chocolate cookies and popcorn scraped from the bottom of my suitcase, haha.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Myths and facts about living in South Africa, how to take decent pictures, knowledge and know-how about things architecture and design-related, facts and discussions about places I've been to, random conversations about politics and religion, and at times: general smack talk about everything light-hearted and unimportant, just to have a laugh.
