About Me

I am a travelling South African.
I love the outdoors and genuine people.

I studied Computer Science at UCT in Cape Town. Since then I have worked in the industry and since then left an office job to travel and meet people from all over the world. I am 24 years old and I am still quite young at heart :)

I enjoy sports and using my body as well as my mind so that both are sharp and useful!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet real people in each of the countries I visit. I enjoy meeting the people that aren't working or staying in the hostels. I want to meet real people and see the country from their eyes.
