About Me

Easy-going and moderately funny guy who delights in listening.

I studied law, but I now work part-time as an investigative journalist while running our family shop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Zimbabwe's economic crisis has driven out most of my peers from my hometown. So though there's a fair bit to do, there aren't many people to do these things with.

I'm hoping Couchsurfing will fix this.

Interests

Intellectual: Etymology, history, journalism, law.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accidentally led a far right white supremacist rally

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I know a lot about etymology.
Learn - I like listening to people
Share - my wacky adventures with the former street kids that I look after

What I Can Share with Hosts

My house!

My great-grandfather bought this place. It's got loads of space and a massive garden with a mini-orchard. If you stay with me you'll also get a chance to sample my mum's amazing Indian cooking.

The Eastern Highlands

I can show you waterfalls and misty mountains as well as the economic and social dysfunction that has rotted our society's core.

Countries I’ve Lived In

England, India, Italy, Zimbabwe
