CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a farm boy from the Eastern Cape, South Africa. I love the out doors and the water. hunting fishing diving camping are things I enjoy. On the other hand I spend too much time surfing the net and stocking up on random information.

PHILOSOPHY

don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive. Don't worry about things beyond your control, do what you can with what you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started out here so still trying to find my feet in this space. Looking to meet some interesting people with unique perspectives of where they live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my greatest experience so far was travelling for 5 weeks on local transport around Southern Africa. Camping where ever we could, eating out of dixies, hitch hiking across boarders, getting rained on for 3 weeks, being taken in by people we didn't know, buying whole ox hides because we could.
