A little crazy (but who isn't right?) I love travelling to new places, I'm a martial artist and have practiced probably more than I can name without writing a list lol!
I love scuba diving, especially cageless with big Ragged Tooth Sharks, and anything adventurous. Around July 2018 I'm going to be volunteering with the Lion Whisperer, so I'll be basically spending two weeks playing with lions!
I'm half German Half South African, and I love nature and the wild! I grew up mainly in Saudi and Bahrain, and did my last two years of school at a boarding school in Austria before coming to the UK to study.
I can get quite philosophical at times, and have a pretty broad general knowledge base. Am always up for a stimulating conversation, particularly one that exchanges and challenges different ideas about a certain topic, for one can only grow through challenge right? In that sense it seriously pays to be open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet friendly new people whilst on my travels, hoping they can also give some good pointers on things to do that really give the true experience of the city rather than the bolt standard 'tourist package' of must see things.

Accidentally dove into a pile of cow manure during a game of touch rugby and thus dominated the rest of the game

Teach, Learn, Share

There's tons I could put down, but will just put the top two down for now.
I'm a swordsman, and help run a local sword club which my friend and I founded, so its style is very unique, and if you're staying on the right night you can come along to give it a go and see what its all about.
I play guitar, so can also teach someone the basics of that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stimulating conversation, stories of past adventurous experiences, and a general passion for life.
