About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To gain enough kudos to move on to the next level

ABOUT ME

I'm from South Africa but have lived and travelled the world for about 10 years now. My soul mate is a beautiful Mexican girl who loves travelling and cultural experiences as much as I do.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a person of faith but don't believe in imposing mine on others. I try to build bridges to others when possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am usually the quiet one in the corner but once you get to know me I open up and become quite spontaneous. I try to give everyone space and expect others to do the same for each other.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Zero. I am a certified couchsurfing virgin! But I sure hope to change that soon. Some of the best experiences in my life have been with strangers whom I have randomly crossed paths with. I suspect I am in some ways a closet couchsurfer as I have "hosted" strangers/travellers in the past and enjoyed it very much.

Interests

Nature in all its glory from a wilderness area to beautifully manicured garden
Books on any topic from textbooks to fantastic fiction
Sports of any kind from the Olympics to mass entertainment
Politics, faith and all those interesting cultural bits which makes societies such interesting tapestries
Did I mention travelling or is that a given?

Music, Movies, and Books

I am an open minded person and happy to explore whatever themes are on offer. I literally listen to anything from metal to electronica and classical music...all in moderation. The same goes for cinema and literature.
