CURRENT MISSION

I am itching to explore. I want to see and learn and meet and remember.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Cape Town but was never able to afford travelling. I started playing in orchestras and eventually found my way onto music tours and was able to see little slices of the world for free. But it really only whet my appetite. I want to see more! I am determined to explore!

PHILOSOPHY

When in doubt, give Oscar Wilde a shout:

"Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stay in Verona with my host family. My weekends are free so I travel where I can (as cheaply as possible).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just joined!

Interests

I am a musician (double bass, percussion, piano). I am a member of the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and the South African National Youth Orchestra. So I have a passion for classical music.

I love to read (good literature, none of that Twilight nonsense), to wander, to be sarcastic, to daydream, to meet new people and to walk the dog. Ja.
