About Me

I am a nature enthusiast who enjoys everything that nature has to offer. I saw a meme that explains exactly how I feel; it states, if travelling was free, you would never see me again. I want to create memories where ever I go and be able to look back on my life one day and have no regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be able to meet new people with cultural backgrounds different from my own and go with them to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors.

Interests

I like to hike, scuba dive, sight see and hopefully kite surf in the future. Each country have beautiful nature reserves that are perfect hiking spots, oceans with wrecks to explore and an abundant amount of historical sites to go see. I hope to be able to see as many historical sites as possible, dive as mush as I can and enjoy everything nature has to offer,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finishing a hike in the Drakensberg with 3 friends of mine in three days hiking a total of 65km. It was one of my friend's first hike ever. We summit the first day, hiked in mist the second day and getting lost temporarily before descending. The third day was a 30km stretch to get to the car. I hiked the last few kilometers with my flip flops as my hiking boots were too wet and my feet were swollen.
To this day we still talk about that hike and how crazy it was.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to teach others about my country and culture, share a traditional meal with my host and share stories of adventures that we both have experienced.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of our travels and past adventures. What it is like to live in South Africa and its natural beauty. We can talk about our respective cultures and even make them a few traditional Afrikaner dishes.
