I am a South African Woman, born and bred in the City of Cape Town. I completed my Honours in Economics and Undergraduate in Economics, English Literature and Economic History from the University of Cape Town in 2018. I love travel and am now taking 9 months exploring this wonderful, strange world before heading off to the University of Oxford to do my masters.
Interested in Art
Interested in Environmentalism
Fluent in English
Learning French
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Because I want to explore places from the inside out! The best place for a home base is a home. Also, because South African currency doesn't go very far haha.
Music, Movies, and Books
I just finished reading Home Going by Ya Gyasi, a Ghanaain author, and loved it. Also recently loved The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng. My favourite read is probably White Teeth by Zadie Smith. I loveeee Frank Ocean- the entire Blonde album.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I am social and easy going. I lived in a house of 9 people for the duration of my previous degree and learnt how to navigate living environments with other people quite well. I would love to get to know you over a meal, a drink, a cup of tea or a walk - if you enjoy that.
