Hi there,

I'm Carl from sunny Cape Town, South Africa! I quit my job as a digital media trader and strategist at ABinBev South Africa to travel the Americas. I love photography an use the 35mm film format to take travel photography and portraits. I'm social, easy going and happy to teach anybody about film photography and exchange language skills and travel stories.

Looking forward to having good wine and good conversation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
