About Me

Bonzour CS! I can be described as being very open minded person and i enjoy being outdoors and doing activities such as diving, kite surfing, hiking, trekking and wild camping.

I enjoy doing sports mostly everyday and I am an early riser. Sunrise yoga is absolutely my thing everyday :) I live my dharma though kitesurfing, I never think twice if there is some wind blowing in the ocean :)

So far I have learnt and exchange so much from surfers which I am grateful for. You guys are great !!!
It's truly rewarding to be able to contribute to this wonderful community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, and have the slightly optimistic viewpoint that at the end of the day we're all far more alike than we often admit (?).

Have had the opportunity to meet/host a couple of pretty cool surfers. i have also shown others around Mauritius..

Swam and snorkel with whales in the deep ocean .

Got emergency rescued at sea by 4 boats while holding for my life on a piece of coral (caught in strong current).

Hiking Table mountain in South Africa with flip flops, no water and food (how a trip to Kisternbosch garden turned into a hiking event) .

Threw and played metal concerts in Mauritius and brought an American Metal band to the island (Back in the days it was a bit conservative, interesting story to tell) .
