I am 22 years old, currently studying English Literature and Media in my home country. I am a positive, calm, creative, enthusiastic and happy person. I love adventure and unusual experiences. I really loved travelling and couchsurfing in Europe, and though I can't currently host, I would like to show fellow travelers beautiful Cape Town when I can.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I feel that sharing my travels with people improves the depth of the experience. I am eager to meet new people and see the world a little more as a local would, and to introduce good people to the local experience of Cape Town and South Africa.

Interessen

I enjoy travelling and experiencing beautiful new places. I also love to read, write, paint, draw, sculpt and be generally creative. A few of my additional interests are baking, cycling, and swimming. I am really interested in environmental sustainability.
I've written about a few of my adventures. If you want to read any, maybe they'll reveal some of my character, though they are a little old.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

My favourites are 70s rock music, artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Guns and Roses, etc. I also really enjoy Indie folk music and artists like Florence and the machine, Eddie Vedder, and the like. And I find pop music fun.

With movies I usually want to laugh. But some greats are Into The Wild and Back to the Future.
I enjoy fiction. My interest ranges though, and I have no favourite genre.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Cliff jumping from all sorts of places. I've also ridden elephants, quadbiked in the Namid desert, and played with baby tigers. And held a lot of interesting holiday jobs!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I would like to tell you about South Africa, and learn all about your home country, and your life, language and interests. I would really like to share my travel experiences with you; I know how much more you see of your own town when showing it to another person, and adventure is so much more exciting when shared.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I would like to share my passion and excitement for life. I can cook for you, I can tell you about my beautiful country, South Africa, and now a bit about Germany.

If you want to go to South Africa, have a look at this link. I grew up here, and it is still the most beautiful place I've been.
