CURRENT MISSION

To increase the number of times I can say that I really lived.

ABOUT ME

Wow! I haven't updated my couchsurfing profile in nearly 10 years. Kind of like a blast from the past. I am not in South Africa and have lived in several places since I wrote this about me. Now I am on Vancouver Island, looking to get know the area.

PHILOSOPHY

hmm Carpe diem (used a lot), to be me... wait i know "don't worry, or know that worrying is as effective of trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed in Kenya and I am looking forward to being able to return the generosity.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

African literature is the main genre that I consume, but I recently joined a bookclub and have read Miriam Toews Fight Night and Gabriela Garcia's Of Women and Salt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the very first time that i stood up on a surf board. it was the biggest adrenaline rush i have ever felt. i couldn't help yelling to everyone around.

I lived at the edge of the world in Haida Gwaii.
