Overview
About Me
Hello! 👋
So, who am I? I am a South African, who loves my country, but I also have a special love for Europe. I am (obviously) a very keen traveller and I thrive from the rush of meeting new people, sharing stories and experiences.
I am about to start my PhD in Applied Mathematics in Bologna, and thought it may be a good starting point to add a Couchsurfing profile, especially considering the fact that I am still looking for accommodation.
I always struggle to form a description about myself on a platform like this, since I feel like I have so much more to offer than what I would like to put in words, if that makes any sense. Just know that I am neat, easy going, happy, friendly and always keen for a beer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am about to start my PhD in Applied Mathematics in Bologna, and thought it may be a good starting point to add a Couchsurfing profile, especially considering the fact that I am still looking for accommodation.
I also will be traveling a lot in my time in Europe and would love to make use of the Couchsurfing platform.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Let's not call it amazing, but in the last 18 months I have made a conscious effort to form friendships with individuals from other countries (especially Europe). I ended up taking a 40 day trip in the summer visiting all these friends. I ended up not paying a cent for accommodation, meanwhile visiting 7 countries and 11 cities. This is what I thrive on.
