About Me

Introverted, outspoken, passionate, and intrigued by the unknown. I am exceptionally clean and thoughtful so there would be no need to worry about your space being kept clean. Despite being relatively introverted, I am quite passionate and outspoken on the interests I have mentioned below. I am an old soul so I am keen on interacting with people of all ages. My politics are intersectional so I have no tolerance for bigots or fascists thus, my personal is political.

I've just completed my undergrad in IR and Diplomacy which has had my uninterrupted attention for the better part of two years. It is this period that can account for my absence on the couch surfing website. In that time I have not had the luxury of travel and socialising (even with close friends) so I'm playing catch-up at the moment, on all fronts.

I have been exposed to various couch surfing events in the past, through my mother (who is an active couch surfer/host based in Johannesburg).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting like-minded people along the way, and couch-surfing seems to be an interesting way to do both. I am fairly new to the concept so please be patient with me while I 'complete' my profile.
