Real(ly not) chilled young South African currently living in Istanbul, Turkey. Believer. Aspiring biomedical engineer. Mental health activist. Self proclaimed writer. Daughter. Sister. Friend. Hopeless romantic.

Dumela! I'm Boitumelo, but I go by Tumi. I'm a young determined girl, full of dreams and visions, living a life poured out. I'm passionate about healthcare, women empowerment and travel. I like looking up countries I have no immediate plans to visit. If I wasn't a student, I'd always be in the airport. Seriously. Traveling is my 18th favorite thing to do. It opens my eyes to the harvest that is waiting and expands my horizons, that it's not all about me. Also, I like to laugh. A lot! Sometimes I laugh to make myself laugh. That's when I really need it but yes, it's that deep.
Oh, there's way more but you'll have to meet me. :)

Courage, dear heart. Courage.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet people whose hearts jump at the thought of choosing the aisle or window, the long or short route.

I definitely do like being in an international community, it breaks barriers and destroys single stories. You get to know people of different cultures without the media bombarding you with what it percieves them to be like.

音乐、电影和书籍

Books: Redeeming Love and An Echo in the Darkness, both by Francine Rivers. Both books depict agony, brokenness and then completion in accepting Christ's love so profoundly. It's amazing.
One Tuesday Morning by Karen Kingsbury
Forgive Me by Lesley Pearse
The Atonement Child by Francine Rivers
The First Born trilogy by Karen Kingsbury
Ahh, there are too many...
