About Me

I am a student who is currently taking a year off from studying to see and learn from the world around me! I am very keen surfer so I plan on heading to central America and Brazil (well I guess the surf is a bonus). I love being outdoors and exploring new places and learning from people from all over the world. People who have very different opinions or perspectives on certain topics, I believe this makes one a more well rounded person who has more insight and possibly compassion for others or places unknown to them/ myself. I am an easy outgoing guy who enjoys adrenaline - after-all, who doesn't enjoy a good night out (here and there)!?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student I don't have much money to spend while travelling and doing all crazy activities as I am on a budget. So I thought what a better way to meet locals and have meaningful interactions while still being able to save some cash! I also think that this platform allows like minded people to meet each other and who knows to end up making friendships across the world, in a time where lots of people are closed off or see the world and people via screens.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tunes: Indie, Tropical house, bit of deep house, Ben Howard, Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Movies: Intimidation game, About time, Interstella, Rush, The intouchables
Books: The Great Gatsby, ZigZag (it's a surf magazine)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been able to surf the famous Jeffreys Bay, witness the pros lay it down at the competition. Been camping in Tps in rural Eastern Cape and found a dead baboon in the mountains!

Teach, Learn, Share

My views, experiences in life, stories and a bit of cooking - I am slowly learning!
