About Me

I am from South Africa, currently travelling by any means neccesarry!
I arrived in Europe - Italy specifically, in September 2020, where i spent 5 months living with an amazing family and working for them as an au pair, helping them look after their little soliders - two boys aged 2 and 4!
I was offered another job as an au pair, in France, which brings me to the present moment - I am currently living in the 'Rhone-Alps' region of France.

I am a surfer, so a huge goal of mine is to surf during my time here in France, so anyone on the coast of France, hit me up!

I am a performing musician, playing guitar and singing. so for those willing to host me, live entertainment comes free! Alongside performing music at events and local bars, i run my own massage therapy business.

I am on an adventure at the moment, looking to travel anywhere and everywhere possible during these crazy times (with the help of the blessing that is my Italian passport - Im half Italian).
I love spending time surrounded by nature, as i have grown up spending most of my time in and around the ocean - i love hiking, yoga, cooking.

Id love to make some friends during my time in France and make some memories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to find like-minded people to meet-up with and possibly find people who would be willing to host me in their homes! I am super helpful around the house - cooking, cleaning up and, ofcourse, performing some live music - being a massage therapist, a massage is also on offer for those who would be interested!

I will likely be looking for people to host me once i have completed my current au-pair contract, so it would be great to make some friends and connections in advance!

I also want to get into contact with people to join me in seeing some of the places in France!
