About Me

From Zimbabwe originally, but lived most of my life in Belgium. Here in Kyrgyzstan for work (hopefully long term) and always on the look out to meet fresh faces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Met a tourist who needed a place to crash, let her stay at my place. Enjoyed the experience, so thought I'd give it another go.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I like a bit of everything, as long as it got a nice rhythm and tune to it.
Movies - currently in love with anything by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Neon Demon, Only God Forgives, Valhalla Rising), but game for anything decent.
Books - all time favorite : "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. Sci fi, fantasy and history books are my usual go tos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That would be showing off.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some knowledge of decent hang outs and restaurants in Bishkek, decent network of contacts if in need of logistical help.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom
