ABOUT ME

I am relatively cool and collected, philosophical, curious, and a keen observer of the human condition. Communication is my forte. I prize knowledge and enjoy sharing it with others. I have tremendous insight into what makes people tick and can usually spot a phony a mile away. I am an idea person - continually on the lookout for exciting new ways to implement my plans. I am ambitious and adventurous and love traveling to exotic foreign places. I am multi-talented and an inveterate networker. Luck and good fortune seem to follow me around - as if I'm under the protection of a guardian angel. I am a dichotomy of independence versus dependence.

PHILOSOPHY

there are only 3 things in life you HAVE to do:
eat, sleep, shit;
the rest are details...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am travelling most of the time, so I spread the word to other travellers and share my experience with CS'ers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lagos, NIGERIA - was hosted by a fellow South African.
Brazzaville, CONGO - picked up a French CSer who was also hosted by same guy in Lagos - small world!
I like expats showing me their favourite things about their adopted countries:
Hosted by a German and a Finn in Uzbekistan!
By a Russian in Kazakhstan,
By a Brit in Angola,
By an American on the Canary Islands,
By a Peace Corps volunteer in Ghana,
By a Belarussian in Minsk,
By an Estonian in Tallinn,
and the list keeps growing...
Hosted many surfers in my vehicle while travelling.
