CURRENT MISSION

To have enough money in my bank account so I can take a couple years off and just travel.
#Update: I spend more then I save.

ABOUT ME

Generally reserved at first till you get to know me ;-) Appreciate a good sense of humor. Sarcasm also sits well, especially if it’s on a comfy couch. I like my landlord. I love good company, and a good conversation every now and then as well. F1 fan! Practicing architecture in my spare time, which I seem to have a lot of these days.

PHILOSOPHY

Just being open and tolerant. It's still a learning curve, and probably always will be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live in a matchbox (Update: I still live in a matchbox!), but as soon as I get a bigger place, it will definitely be open to all. Just enquire ;-)
Update on the update: My matchbox may have upgraded to a small house, but in a smaller town 2,5 hours away from Durban, but I travel there often!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a loan to go watch Schumachers last Formula 1 race before his retirement (the first time 2006 ;-)) in Brasil. It was awesome! I could not speak a word of portuguese which made it interesting. The people were amazing! Did I mention Schumi came out of retirement and now owes me alot of money!?!

Also participated in the Habitat for Humanity (JCWP) in Durban back in 2002. Built a 100 houses (total) in a week for the underprivilaged. Met people from New York to China. Definitely a highlight!

My first house design was built in Cape Town in 2017/2018

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn Brazilian Portuguese. I can probably teach you how to speak 'Indian', but not too sure coz I don't realize when I'm actually speaking it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My insight into Formula 1. Some tall tales (short ones are never good). And if you’re keen, some advice and facts about South Africa.

Countries I’ve Visited
