ABOUT ME

Always keep learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During the week I can provide a couch. On the weekends I am more than happy to show people around Cape Town.

Interests

My main passion at the moment is off-road adventures on motorcycles. It is the best way to explore Africa. Other interests include yoga, surfing, rocking climbing, going to the pub with friends and outdoor music festivals.

During the week my interests are more academic. I am currently researching high performance computing problems which assists in finding galaxies at extremely high red-shifts.
