CURRENT MISSION

I'm coming to South Africa because adventure is calling - find a job and so try to help a hand in the development of this great country (sounds like a paradox, but it's not :). I'll explain later.

ABOUT ME

I am a lively and adventurous person who wants to explore the world. Curious about what is to be found beyond the Dutch boundaries, I have now set my destination to Johannesburg. The next 2 months will be in the light of both finding a job and producing a business plan to improve access to educational materials for South African learners.

PHILOSOPHY

If it is to be, it is up to me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
