About Me

Finding the meaning of a life worth living through open-mindedness. Been in Germany over 3 years now, originally from South Africa. Working out where working would work out, while working out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Doing a small trip around Germany to start off my experience right now. So far pretty good! Think I’ll stay on Couchsurfing to keep meeting interesting people and building my understanding and network of global cultures.
