About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Thailand! And life :) And Cape Town - I am discovering new parts of my city every day.

ABOUT ME

I am working as a performance artist at the moment. My subject is sex work, performativity and the body.

I have a background in anthropology where my research focused mainly on different embodiment practices including trance and meditation, stigma and health, and medical ritual.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am fascinated by different modes of being, and see couch surfing as a way of exploring different ways of thinking and living.

Interests

I love listening to podcasts, and am good at being alone. For talking, conversations I enjoy are usually about subjectivity, consciousness, religion, performance, embodiment, art, ethics, sex and gender.

I do yoga when I can get up early enough (I'm a qualified ashtanga teacher). I love to snowboard, dive, swim in the sea, horse ride and bike ride. I love nature but I am also fascinated by cities. I love dancing (many kinds - tango, clubbing, pole). Sometimes I like to party, but I do it a lot for work so I tend to only go out on extra special occasions.
