About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my mission is too never stop traveling, i would love to live about a year in as many different countries as i can throughout my life. i love different people and places, want to meet them all!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in South Africa, moved to Australia when i was 12, messed around after high school not knowing what to do with life, found my passion, anything human rights based (and art).
I love meeting new people and connecting with them. I love when my friends and family are happy.
Im also a bit of a hippie, love nature, happy music, colourful clothes and just chillin with people i love.

PHILOSOPHY

look outside yourself, always find the good in others.
Seek justice, Love mercy, Walk humbly.....
and enjoy yourself while doing it!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish i had a couch to offer, but right now i live in a very small apartment with only one bed, i can show you around, grab some food or even go for a night out with friends :)

Interests

Im interested in anything and everything, as long as its nice and doesnt hurt anyone. I love to hang out, talk serious issues, learn from other people and their views, but also let my hair down and just have a good time. Im up for trying new things, i love diversity, being surprised and hearing cool stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

In movies i like comedy, martial arts and true stories.
I love reggae, ska, dubstep, anything thats positive and makes me wanna dance, also the songs that make me feel like sitting in a hammock on the beach with a book.
I like reading biographies and human rights related books, anything that makes me think and learn, anything that keeps me turning the pages (i hate romance novels or movies though)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

too many to mention, but probably the most memorable is seeing when people do good things, without thinking of what it looks like or means. its so small, but its actually the biggest thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

as above, those who have stories, but also listen to yours.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, Laos

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, South Africa, Thailand
