About Me

Linda?! Yes! just like the ladies name, but in Zulu (ethnic language) meaning Patience. After visiting various parts of South Africa, I could not consider an office job as a career because the world is big, but so little time to travel.
Tourism has been a career and lifestyle to sustain and practice adventures, by visiting (not touring) and discovering more about an environment, while respecting the community and wildlife. I love to meet people to become friends in the process. This is to enjoy the borrowed time on this great planet by preserving the significance of the environment and continue my passion of discovering the world and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-To host people from different areas of the world by sharing our lifestyle as South African citizens.
-Visting the authentic sides of an area/community, instead of going to touristic areas only.
-To discover and offer more than what is expected, by including the local community members, visiting the "not so popular" areas and attending (local and main) events and festivals .
-Making friends all over the world.
-Sharing the love of travel and tourism

Interests

Being in the comfort zone has not been a norm by taking part in activities that work with the mind, and that work with the body. Most have been satisfied by taking part in both aspects at the same time. Other interests are by means of surprise or planned by either family, friends or myself
