I'm a software developer living in Cape Town. I enjoy conversations about politics, philosophy, ethics, identity, or any topic when engaged with nuance and depth.

Spend my free time listening to live music, shooting film photography, riding my motorbike (when it's not broken) and talking to my strange, eclectic group of close friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people to find out about the way they live and the beauty in their lives.

The world is vast and fascinating. I love seeing somewhere through the eyes of someone who really knows a place, the local barber, the secret coffee shop, the sunny patch with a view.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make you realise that science is simpler and more beautiful than you think.

I love finding out more about why the world is the way it is; economics, politics, biology, pyschology, any academia really.
