I am a typical Electronic Engineer, but with a taste for adventure. Although I like programming and working with electronics, I like to keep all those things at home when travelling—even my GPS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one time while hiking down the Transkei coast, we knocked on a local's hut to ask for a place to pitch out tents. We were warmly welcomed into his house and, along with some chickens, dogs and goats, ended up around a fire in one of the huts, eating and laughing. The local told us many stories through a mixture of English, Afrikaans, Xhosa and hand signals.
