Having suffered from a severe case of wanderlust most of my life, I've lived on four continents. But now I'm back in the Mother City – Cape Town, South Africa – more or less permanently.

I enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle and spend much of my free time climbing, mountain biking or trail running. I'm also an avid photographer and enthusiastic reader.

I'm brand new to couch surfing and have no history, so I'm including my Facebook profile so that potential hosts can get a better idea of what I'm about: https://www.facebook.com/nofallpaul

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I could stay in a hostel, hotel or Air BnB, but I'd prefer to couch surf, meet some locals (especially those with similar interests) and buy (or cook) them dinner as a way of saying thanks. I can also offer interested travelers a couch in Cape Town... and a guide if they want to sample the local rock or trails.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used travelled by bus all the way from New York to San Fransisco.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know the hiking trails around Cape Town pretty and can even take more adventurous travelers rock climbing.
