ABOUT ME

I like new ideas, and thinking about old ideas in new ways. I love literature, and art, and movies, and arguing, and travelling. I love a cold beer and good people; Pina coladas and getting caught in the rain:)

PHILOSOPHY

Be kinder. Try to do what makes you happy. Try to make other people happy too. Tread softly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm very excited about the opportunities CS offers as far as meeting interesting people from different places is concerned. I like to show people around my beautiful home town

Interests

Languages. Literature. History. Philosophy, politics, human relationships. I can really get interested in most things if the people I'm talking to about them are passionate.

Music, Movies, and Books

Impossible to list. Favourite writers at the moment: Virginia Woolf, Anne Michaels, Cormac McCarthy, JM Coetzee, Ian McEwan, William Faulkner, Terry Pratchett, Vladimir Nabakov... It really just goes on and on and on...
Same with music. Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Radiohead, Wolf Parade, Mother Mother, Third Eye Blind, Kings of Leon, Counting Crows, Feist, Edith Piaf...
Ridiculously bad low budget zombie movies. Ridiculously pretentious French New Wave movies. Stuff by Wes Anderson and David Fincher. Brick, Garden State, Wristcutters, Fight Club, Amelie, Motorcycle Diaries...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandering around the Alhambra in Grenada at midnight on a July night when I had nowhere to sleep. Singing Beatles songs on the Spanish Steps in Rome. Diving in Thailand. Watching any sunset in Cape Town; dancing down Long Street.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages are my thing, so if you wanted to improve your English, I might be helpful there, or practise your German. I also know some magnificent places in Cape Town. I can party up a storm when called upon.
I'd love to practise my French, and learn more languages, and learn about the ways other people live, and about other places. And so many other things.
