Hi, I'm Ed, I've been hitchhiking and backpacking across Southern Africa, I spent three months in South Africa and now I'm heading up to Namibia

I'm from Portugal originally, but I moved to London at 18 and have lived there for 10 years, so you might hear a bit of British in my accent

I quit my job in March, came down here in April and I'll be travelling around until the money runs out, help me out a bit if you can and become a part of my great adventure through the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to connect with locals and see a different perspective of the places I go through

Interests

I love hiking and I'm always trying to find new hiking trails and buddies (Fish River Canyon anyone *wink wink*), and I love swimming and I'll always get in the water, just ask the Basotho when I went swimming in below zero weather

Anything else I'm here to explore, meet people, see wildlife, get into trouble a little bit and then get out

• animals
• drinking
• hiking
• swimming
• meeting people
• desert
• swimming in the sea

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie, Pop, Folk mainly, but a bit of every thing, I read a lot of high fantasy too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent a week dogsledding and camping in the snow in the Swedish mountains

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some languages, and I can teach science (part of my previous job), I'm willing to learn every single thing you can offer
