I work in the field of architecture but would, quite frankly, rather be painting. I have always enjoyed travelling and experiences new places and faces. I'm very tolerant of people/ places being rather different to what I'm used to, and do not get put off by the fact. I've respect other people's opinions/ beliefs, and always try to be considerate towards other customs/ traditions; should I fail miserably in this regard, please know that i tried!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is all about experiencing the best which that place has to offer, and interacting with the normal people who live there proves to be a far more authentic experience. I was a rotary exchange student for a year in France, having lived with multiple host families, and found this to be so much more rewarding as an added travel experience.

Interests

I enjoy art, painting, music, theatre, food [good gracious I enjoy food, especially if it's roasted; then I'm there like a bear!], dance [sokkie, club, stage the works], tea, reading, 30 Seconds [I'm potent when paired right], swimming, adventure sports, cats, rescuing lady birds from swimming pools and braaied marshmallows.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty decent in the kitchen, I can strike up a conversation with a door knob so don't worry about discourse too much and I love to hear peoples stories and tellings of anything they deem interesting.
