About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Broaden my horisons and tick things off my bucket list.

ABOUT ME

I am a student, majoring in Law and Accounting at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. I am a young and I am free and I take that to my advantage. I love the people who I surround myself with and the things that I keep myself busy with. I am a go-getter and I keep myself busy with many different things, always enriching my life and gathering new experiences. I am friendly and I am brave. I enjoy spending time with people, as I get my energy from the crowd. I get along easily with people and I always try to see the best side in someone.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be unhappy, so fill your life with everything fun and amazing. Get out of your comfort zone and start experiencing life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been on a trip in Europe where I was fortunate enough to meet a few fantastic people on CS. I had an absolute blast and would definitely do it again. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best travel decision that I've ever made! :)

Interests

I have a passion for music and for people. I enjoy being in nature, I enjoy hiking and I love anything adventurous. I'm up for a challenge and I obviously love travelling. I enjoy reading, I have a massive sweet tooth and I am in love with Africa, where I come from.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Winning the 2 categories in the World Choir Games in 2012 in Cincinatti, USA.
Shaving my hair off for CANSA at a shavathon, an orginisation who helps Cancer victims in South Africa.
Bungee jumping off the highest bungy bridge in the world - Bloukrans - with my brother.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone is so different, whether in culture, in background, religion or heritage, and we have so much that we can learn from each other simply by sharing our stories.
I hope to learn about the culture, food and the people of Europe. I hope to teach you about myself, where I come from and what the amazing South Africa is all about. :D
