Overview
About Me
I am a South African 🇿🇦 (half Portuguese 🇵🇹) living in Madeira 🇵🇹. I enjoy meeting new people, love travelling and exploring different places, cultures and cuisines. I am open-minded and always up to trying something new or a different adventure. I am known to be somewhat indecisive and instead prefer to explore rather than sticking to a planned schedule.
Life is best lived leaving your comfort zone at the door.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am here to meet people, discover different places, live life, learn and repeat whether it’s travelling myself or hosting. It has been through hosting experiences that I have also discovered some new and interesting places that are right at my door step!

Music, Movies, and Books
9/10 my playlist is whatever the radio is playing; I enjoy listening to other people's music tastes and preferences and more than often, I like it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Joined & hosted on CS- there is no better way to connect with people than through travel. CS has allowed me to make new life long friends and discover places like a local.
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe that the best way to learn is through discovery, and the best method of delivery is travelling. I have learnt that it is best to immerse yourself wherever you go and live like a local to enjoy a better experience. Respect is key to me and showing respect of the culture in the place that you are visiting will always get you off on a good start.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share good conversation, cultural exchange, and genuine curiosity. I love listening to stories and sharing some of my own. I believe in meaningful connections and not just free stays. I’m easygoing, respectful, and always happy to adapt to my host’s lifestyle and house rules- I’m all about blending in and contributing positively to the space.
