CURRENT MISSION To travel to and explore every corner of this earth! ABOUT ME I am an ambitious and friendly young guy, I love meeting people and traveling! Cultures and languages interest me, especially in South Africa. I am passionate about poverty alleviation and justice in Africa and I hope to pursue a career in this field. I travel quite a bit and I believe that every country is beautiful and interesting with something new to offer. I love socialising, trying new kinds of beer:), and getting to know all types of interesting and new people. PHILOSOPHY At the end of the day we are all humans with the same basic needs despite race, culture or creed!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been a couchsurfer for 4 years and have lived with couchsurfers in the USA. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I enjoyed meeting a life-long friend in the USA!
Music, Movies, and Books
Autobiographies and books that challenge my point of view. Mandela! Music: a little bit of everything, Cold Play, Killers, Kings of Leon, Micheal J., contemporary, hip-hop etc.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Traveling with awesome people (especially Europeans in South Africa!). I get a kick out of teaching people about South Africa, its politics, history and current challenges. Also traveling Europe, especially going to concentration camps. I was an exchange student in Germany for a year when I was only 15! What a great experience living with strangers who became my second family.
Teach, Learn, Share
People who have made awesome experiences, people who have made an effort to leave their comfort zones to learn something new and interesting. I enjoy people who have an interest in humanity and other cultures.
My Interests
Politics, new cultures, showing people our diverse country, making new experiences and living in the moment. Partying, community work, grabbing opportunities, expanding my horizons and becoming a better world citizen!
