CURRENT MISSION

I am going to Istanbul to get out of my colonial zebra print box

ABOUT ME

I have lived in South Africa, my whole life - barring the 6 months in Calgary, and three in Toronto. My country is the most diverse place on earth, and I love it! I am looking to expand my knowledge of the world, and so I have been living in Istanbul for 3 years.... it has been a HUGE learning curve but I have loved every minute!

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to shake off my colonial blanket, and get some perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I settle in Johannesburg, I would be more than willing to help people out with accomodation. Should anyone need advice on travelling in South Africa, I was in the tourism business, and I have friends in all sectors. I am free to meet, whereever I am for coffee or lunch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a newby, I hope to UPDATE this soon!

I believe it is important for everyone to visit AFRICA. Africa has more natural resources than any other continent. Africa needs all the help it can get.
