CURRENT MISSION

Reflecting on all the amazing adventures and travels I've been lucky enough to experience.

ABOUT ME

Hey fellow surfers and hosts,

Im a well-travelled guy from the most beautiful city in the world... Cape Town, South Africa. I decided to hit the road after university seeking truth and new experiences. My friends call me curious George. I talk alot, laugh alot, and walk alot. I am interested in most things, and I like to learn new things. I get along with everyone as long as they are nice. I love animals, especially dogs. Dogs are awesome. I like to cook and I don't smoke. I love taking photos. It is what I was born to do. Other than that I try to hit the beach as often as possible and try watch the sunset everyday.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a book, those who dont travel only read a page. Im trying to read the entire book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted a few times - by people who I now call my great friends. Waiting to get my own apartment/house one day when I can too start hosting :) Im currently in Cape Town so will be happy to meet up or show your around if I am not working. I also participate also by letting people with good vibes know about the community introducing them to CS. Great to see them making new friends through it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Travelled with some CS'ers, been hosted a number of times by some really amazing people, and always meeting random CS'ers along the way! It is really a great community with like-minded people!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Trust me
It's Paradise
This is where the hungry come to feed
For mine is a generation that circles the globe
in search of something we haven't tried before
so never refuse an invitation
never resist the unfamiliar
never fail to be polite
and never outstay your welcome

just keep your mind open and
suck in the experience
and if it hurts
you know what... it's probably worth it

i still believe in paradise
but now at least i know it's not some place you can look for
cause it's not where you go
it's how you feel for a moment in your life
and if you find that moment it lasts forever"

- Richard, The Beach
