About Me

Born and raised in Stellenbosch, South Africa, just an hour away from Cape Town. I'm a 21-year old Law and Philosophy student.

When I'm not reading philosophy books or sampling fine coffees, you will probably find me running in the picturesque mountains that surround my home-town.

My bucket list includes, visiting the birthplace of Western philosophy in Athens, travelling through South East Asia, climbing Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa and getting a PADI Open Water scuba diving licence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm studying at Montana State University, USA for a semester and would like to travel around the US when I have some free days. Couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to get a truly local experience and meet interesting people.
