CURRENT MISSION
Travelling around Europe, maybe other countries too (who knows, let's let life happen)!

===

I'm passionate about meeting new people as I believe it helps me to expand my world-view.

I've managed a yoghurt store. I taught corporates how to public speak and create presentations.

I aspire to become a life coach one day.

I love playing the guitar, having deep conversations, teaching and learning, and gaining new experiences.
I've been in a few metal bands, it was very fun but we never got much recognition.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people all over the world and hopefully get a glimpse and understanding of how other people live their lives.

I'm running on a budget, so Couchsurfing seems to be a two-hit in terms of it's benefits :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been absolutely amazing, this whole community is great and I've only been making new, incredible friends through my trip with couchsurfing from the moment I started.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

No matter where you look... you'll always see your nose :o)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give some insights into South Africa.

I'll clean up whatever I mess.

My motto is to leave people better off than when I first meet them.

I could teach you some history or the technicalities of music, or how to play some guitar. Alternatively, I could give tips on how to understand and use body language to your advantage, alongside tips on empowering your sub-conscious mind.

A good laugh til our cheeks hurt would be top-notch :D
