I am a PhD student in Cape Town interested in intelligence (artificial and neurobiological).

I love meeting new people and discovering their background, their passion, and where they heading. I find wine tasting a great way of getting to know someone and build a connection.

I'm a fairly easy going guy who isn't fussy and eager to get to know a new place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet different people that can open my eyes to a place far more than a simple tour can. Experiencing local treasures is far more rewarding than seeing the popular tourist attractions for me.
