*Note: I have not updated my profile in a long time - I should probably do it (2020) 😅* A good balance of smiling and sarcasm. Foodie 24/7! There are apparently three times/occasions when I look like a different person: 1. When I wear my spectacles 2. When I wash my hair and it curls into a bush 3. When I'm Batman (technically I'm always Batman) This is undoubtedly one of the most common yet difficult questions to answer. So instead I'll describe myself using my imagination. Me? I am a cold winter night. The cabin is warm and the smell of oak is embedded in every whiff of air I take. You can hear the sound of the twigs crackling in the fireplace. Books of different shapes, sizes and colours are scattered all over the floor. There's a piping hot mug of hot chocolate (with marshmallows of course) patiently sitting on the counter. Unfinished sketches have been torn from my sketch book and are patched to the wall. And just when you think silence was the main narrater, a vinyl record slowly starts to play.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
Exploring a place through a local's perspective always helps me appreciate the place.
Musique, films et livres
Music: Jazz blues mostly. The Dead South, Matt Corby, Charles Bradley, Robert Johnson, John Hurt, The Lumineers. Since I’m South African this is a taste of our local music which I thoroughly enjoy 🇿🇦 🎧 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AECcqPjJR5o&list=PLE2GIzhR1Mq14a5-F2OyyaIE18gn0ybO0 https://youtu.be/kLuSyqMlm_U https://youtu.be/T7RU9T-UgQ8 Books: The Shack, The little Prince, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Moulin Rouge by Pierre La Mure, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) by George Orwell, To Sir, With Love by E.

Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Incredible experiences with a lion cub, baby crocodile and giraffe all back in South Africa. Went to Paris and didn't see the Eiffel Tower, how ironic.
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I'll be more than willing to share my adoration for poetry, help you see the beauty in each word written. A helping hand and a joke or two (some chocolates will have to make up for that)
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
I'll bring chocolates and sarcasm.
