I'm from a very beautiful and underrated piece of earth at the most southern tip of Africa 🌍. I am a open minded person. I'm up for anything.
I love meeting new faces and hearing new stories. I like hiking, singing, road tripping, partying and playing guitar.

I believe Couchsurfing is for a special type of person. One who accepts every aspect of life and every way of living and enjoys being part of it and embracing that certain way of life.

When I'm hosting there will always be a private room with a bed. It can sometimes be a different flat outside of the main house or a room inside the house. It always depends on what dates you visit. And there will always be a private bathroom.

Please note that i don't live inside Johannesburg central. I live in a suburb called Witfield which is very close to the international Airport.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Way back in High school i was part of a rotary cultural exchange program. I went to Germany for about two months and we hosted a German exchange student as well. That made me fall in love with being inside of a normal local household in a foreign country and living like them, i loved hosting the German exchange student as well. It was Awesome showing him how we live and think. I needed more of this cultural drug. That's why I'm on CS
