About Me

I'm a young entrepreneur and student. I like to travel and I enjoy learning from different cultures. I like solving problems - this is why I love working in technology and entrepreneurship. I'm laid back, tidy, comfortable and meticulous gentleman who has fun when necessary and respects others and the environment. I like to cook and I love playing sport (played provincial soccer/football)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a business really young and I have been to 34 countries :) I nearly drown to death when I was 5years old and since then I do not like swimming in the ocean (I've only been to the beach in Cape Town 5 times! Haha)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love politics, economics, philosophy, technology and entrepreneurship. I can share from my experience of being involved in all. I also enjoy my spiritual walk with God. I love learning about cultures and the way society works. Great food = great mood

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a well-mannered young student/entrepreneur who enjoys having fun (responsibly). I can cook and I usually do not get involved where I am not wanted. I love good conversation especially around moving the world forward in a constructive and practical way. Being well-travelled, I offer hosts knowledge of my experiences.
