CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to get a degree, get some experience and get myself on the road again with my girlfriend, a good two year trip is what I want.

ABOUT ME

Hi,

I'm a friendly outgoing lad, who only got going on my travels when I was 22. I spent my childhood growing in a small town in South Africa. From that I enjoy traveling to smaller cities where the people are friendly and the experiences more lasting. Big cities are interesting too, but its the small towns I'm interested in.

My travel experience includes: traveling non stop for 7 months a couple years ago through Asia, Africa and Europe. I also went through Eastern Europe a couple summers ago with my missus and last summer we went to Spain and Morocco, Morocco being amazing, love the place, the people and not the food, only so many Tajines a man can eat.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, make it count.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couch surfing but I heard about it ages ago. I am happy to have people stay over and I'm able to show people around London if I'm not too busy at uni. I also appreciate it when people offer me a place to stay and happily follow whatever rules they have in place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Practically none, although I crashed on someone's couch through a friend when I was in Bratislava.

Interests

I'm interested in tavel, movies, nature, people, different cultures, and current affairs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming at the top of victoria falls while fish nibbled at my feet and 1m behind me was a drop to certain peril and the bungee jump off Bloukraans bridge are two of my most memorable experiences, along with summiting Mt Mulanje in speedy time and the water falls at Pamukkale
