I’m from South Africa but not a typical South African (South Africans are lovely, I've just felt more at home away from home). I’m doing my masters in China and Italy researching systemic causes for obesity and diabetes. Just trying to make the most of life exploring this weird and wonderful world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet fascinating people in new places, share in this weird and wonderful world. Get past the biggest hurdle after transport, just having a place to stay for the night.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Matrix, Call Me by Your Name, anything by Miyazaki.

I like non fiction a lot, in contrast to the movies, Zero to One by Thiel, Sapiens by Harari, Antifragile by Taleb. Loads, of books really and anything to do with understanding ourselves and our systems fascinates me.

Music? Hmm, electronic, jazz, classical mostly. Some rock and rap on occasion. Anyone here a fan of Nujabes?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Used a fire extinguisher to put out a person who was on fire. A entire life lived and my most amazing thing lasted less than a handful of seconds.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak intermediate mandarin, I’m programmer and could help you set up your blog/website, I love cooking and baking all sorts of cuisines, I can make pasta from scratch also bake bread! Plus I genuinely enjoying doing the dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my mostly uninteresting but sometimes awkwardly hilarious life. Discussions about anything and everything, I read a lot with a insatiable curiosity, I’m sure we’ll learn from each other.
