We are a couple who have a charity education centre based in Transkei South Africa. We teach English in struggling surrounding schools. We host international volunteers to help with our programme and for company.
A few years ago we gave up our mundane city lives and revamped a camper truck to explore SA. After travelling for 2 years we needed more from this lifestyle of drifting so did a TEFL course and settled here where we have become part of the Xhosa community. We have been given a piece of land and have built /are building our own home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because we are a charity organisation, we dont get a salary and live on a tight budget. We have free time during school holidays and need a change of scenery to meet other interesting people.

Interests

Teaching takes up all my energy - I enjoy it. We find alternative lifestyles intriguing and have built our own home using google - we made a lot of mistakes. Theo can do poi and has a passion for cooking which hes good at. I like doing crafty things to relax and copy ideas from the internet - googles my friend.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music with rythym - African drums high on the list. Golden oldies on a Sunday. I read anything I can get my hands on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting out of the rat race in exchange for giving something to others without expecting payment.

Teach, Learn, Share

We want to learn about other cultures, people and food. We would love to share our story with other people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Our good nature, cooking skills, friendship.
