About Me

A girl from Africa who wants to open up her worldview and meet many people (not single- from a strict friendship perspective).
I am busy with my MSc in Biotechnology, so yes, I'm a tad of a nerd.
I love hiking, walking around, running (or jogging relative to the fitness levels currently at play) and honestly... I just want to explore! :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into any music- depending on my mood from classical Chopin to electronic to alternative rock and even some of the "airhead" pop songs on the radio. Hey! If it's got a good jam and it's catchy then I am caught :P

Movies mostly comedy, action and adventure. Chasing Mavericks, Lion King, Taken, Rush Hours, Blue Crush etc.

Books- fiction! Novels about life experiences, Mitch Album, Paulo Coelho and adventure
and of course- my childhood favourite Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed in Holland for a few months on an exchange program, experiencing a situation different from my own truly changed my perspective.
Shark cage diving, the opportunity to finance my own studies, hiked up South Africa's highest mountain, amazing friendships and being able to realise that every single day is a blessing and every experience an opportunity to learn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to get to know your experiences and just experience some of your world together.
