About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in the sunshine, swimming in the sea and drinking the wild air

ABOUT ME

Born and bred in South Africa. Lived in JHB until I was 18 and then moved to Cape Town. Lover of feathers, interiors, shiny happy people & pretty little gems. DIY junkie wannabe. Avid Runner. Forever seeking. Travel lover. Open minded and easy going. Insatiable need to experience. Shameless whirlwind & spontaneous tree-climber. I don't walk, I dance.

PHILOSOPHY

Make misteaks :) Be great, be bold, be the best you can be, stop over-thinking and worrying, try (almost) everything once, care for others and be good to others, behind all our complexities we all just want to be happy and loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf when I'm travelling, host when and wherever I can and keen to show travelers around my awesome city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After meeting a bunch of 'professional CSers' and hearing all about their stories and experiences I decided to sign up. Surfed for the first time on my last trip to Thailand and had such a awesome experience. A bit of a newbie still.....
