CURRENT MISSION

To grow paragliding in Africa by creating more pilots, instructors and small businesses across the continent. To travel and fly in other countries with my aircraft-in-a-backpack

ABOUT ME

I like adventure. I started off with a fear of heights, spent 10 years of my life sluicing in SA and other parts of the world. Now, I'm a paragliding instructor living in Cape Town.

I'm all about the outdoors and sunshine. I love meeting new open minded people.

I believe that happiness is not just a feeling, it's also a choice.

I'm open to new experiences and believe in "don't rate it till you've tried it"

Three words I try to live by: LIVE DON'T EXIST

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to each other. Life is short.

Also, I try my best not to be a hypocrit. Try everything at least once.

Have fun

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Take CS'ers visiting Cape Town on hikes every so often, have had a couple CS'ers crash at my place, always up for meeting people. I'm a qualified tour guide so can give you informal tours

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'd say the most memorable CS experiences I've had has been the CS socials in Cape Town and the the hikes up Lions Head (local mountain in the city) where I get to show CSers my favourite spot in Cape Town. I've also had a couple people crash at my place.

I've surfed a bit in the States and participated in CS gatherings in Europe

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've cycled from Cape Town to Cairo - highly recommended for the best view of Africa! Humbling and life changing experience. Other highlights include flying my parachute along the north face of the Eiger in Switzerland, base jumps off the Perrine bridge in Twin Falls, and watching the sunrise from the top of Mt Kilimanjaro

教，学，和分享

Have fun now, not one day! Empathy is important.

If in Cape Town, take a couple a beers and hike up Lions Head at sunset - its awesome.
