I am a very sincere, open, warm and welcoming person who enjoys getting to know people, their perspectives and cultures. I value integrity, being loving and benevolent (generous and kind).

I often am an eager learner especially when the person is passionate about what they are talking about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and cultures
Exchange stories and
See the country from a local perspective
Go to hidden places where tourists never go
Create new stories
And memories that last a lifetime

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swum to BOS 400 shipwreck (close to Llandudno, Cape Town) and explored it with my friends. It ran aground in 1994 and stands partially outside the ocean just off the coast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English and Afrikaans as well as some food making that I have picked up from different places. Other than that, I can teach on what interests you. If it's a few magic card tricks, juggling or games to play without any objects; I'll be glad to teach it.

I would love to learn languages and cultures as well as different living styles (natural habitat and behaviour of people).

Share stories, experiences, lifestyle, dreams, views and opinions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can contribute to food, help with house duties and help where I can. Let's fix it ourselves! Good conversations filled with joy and peace.
