I'm a humanities student from Cape Town, South Africa and I have been studying at Boston College in Massachusetts for the semester.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on a study abroad in the US and am travelling before going back for my final year at the University of Cape Town.

I'd love to hang out with some locals in the places we're visiting to avoid the tourist traps and get a cool perspective on local life !

Interests

I play the viola and I love to play word games even though I'm really bad at them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once kind of saved my friend from drowning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I talk about South Africa too often already but if you'd like I can tell you about my country
I'm currently trying to learn guitar/banjo/mandolin/ukulele

What I Can Share with Hosts

My favourite part of being abroad has been the genuine hospitality and general kindness that has been thrown at me. I am so full of other people's kindness that I'd love to share some with everyone whose path I cross. Pay it forward.
