I’m Simon, a creative doer who looks for freedom, nature, and impact.
My life has been full of adventures, from prosthetics work in Ethiopia and India to long bike trips, paragliding in my free time, climbing, and building new ideas. I am also a passionate and addicted gardener. My dream is to one day plant a vast forest garden filled with food, abundance and beautiful trees.
Right now, I’m working on a exoskeleton project in Jeffreys Bay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I think I don't belong to the standard music listener and sometimes friends say I am a little crazy when I first listen to poetic Lebanese songs and a short time afterwards a yodel song from my region booms out of the speakers. I just love the unusual and always like to venture into new terrain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can’t pick one thing. A lot!

What I Can Share with Hosts
