Currently a post-graduate student in the marine biology world. Probably the biggest facet of my personality is that I am crazy about the ocean and its inhabitants. I'm a nature baby and love being outside. Along with this comes the desire to explore the world around me. I've done a lot of travelling in my own country, but it's now the right time to spread my wings and travel further afield, something I've always dreamed of doing. I am a naturally curious person (another reason why I chose a career in the sciences) and want to explore as much of the world as possible. I don't want to be a traveler who just ticks off places - I want to immerse myself in the places I visit. I'm easy-going and a relatively quiet person and I love good wine and good food.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
I'm new to this site and as mentioned above I'm all into experiencing different places of the world, including the people, the culture, the food, etc. I do solo travelling for my studies and while I love travelling alone, I also like sharing the moments with somebody else (even if that somebody else is someone I have just met). I love sharing dinner with someone and discussing the day and I feel like couchsurfing will be a great way to make solo travelling not so lonely. I really enjoy meeting new people from different places. The place you live in has a huge impact on the way your view the world and I love to listen to different viewpoints and see though the world through a new set of lenses. I love the 'pay it forward' attitude of couchsurfing and would be very interested to share South Africa with other people. I am currently not in a situation where I can host but I would love to meet up with other travelers and show them around beautiful Cape Town.
Музыка, кино и книги
For books I am a huge fantasy fan particularly Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the more recent craze of Game of Thrones, but I also read a lot of 'off the beaten track' fantasy stuff. For movies I'm not all too fussy, as long as it's not a horror or a rip-off comedy! I also like most kinds of music, ranging from classic to pop to rock to drum n' bass, really just depends on my mood. But mostly acoustic/folk rock is my preferred scene. I'm also a huge undercover Taylor Swift fan!
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Probably the most amazing thing I've done is spend 6 months on a remote tropical island in the Seychelles investigating the lives of stingrays for my post-graduate studies. See the link if you're interested for more details - http://www.saveourseas.com/project/a-stingrays-story/
Учить, учиться, делиться
I'm in the beginning stages of learning french and am definitely keen to learn more! Also if you have any cultural dishes, I'm always keen to learn new recipes/ways of cooking. I can teach you how to cook uniquely South African food or a good Seychellois coconut curry. I can also teach you some Afrikaans if you'd like to dip your toes into another South African language. Given my studies I have a wealth of information when it comes to the ocean :) I could even give you one or two tips on how to draw/paint and show you some Irish dancing moves!
Мои интересы
Scuba diving and snorkeling, hiking, camping, anything outdoorsy. I'm a bit of an introvert and extrovert so I love doing things by myself such reading, and I also love hanging out with people either in a relaxed social environment or going out for a night on the town. I really enjoy dancing, so I'm always up for that! I am also an amateur artist and dabble in drawing and painting.
