CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every moment!

ABOUT ME

I'm a midwife/nurse living in Johannesburg- South Africa.

I lived in the Netherlands for a year working as an au pair and I went couchsurfing in a few cities in Europe. I had the best time!

I love meeting new people, experiencing new things and seeing beautiful places. I enjoy being outdoors- jumping off buildings and whatnot... or even if its reading a good book under a tree.
I'm a foodie and I enjoy trying new cuisine.
I am a very open minded person and I try to always have a positive outlook on life.
I am very relaxed and easy going, I don't need anything fancy to be impressed.

I am a talkative person and I like people with a good sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

"Learn as though you were to live forever; live as if you were to die tomorrow"

You only get one life! Make the most out of every situation, there is ALWAYS a good side to everything :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

What I love about couch-surfing is the authentic cultural experience. Hosts cooking traditional food, giving inside info on tourist attractions or simply hanging out at cool local spots.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had positive experiences couch surfing. I met very interesting people and made great friends along the way.

Interests

Camping, nature hikes, bike rides, abseiling, rock-climbing, bungee-jumping, river rafting, snorkeling, surfing.
Animal lover:
I'm a dog person and have two small dogs where I stay.

Next on my to-do-list: scuba-diving and skydiving!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music lifts my mood. Music feeds the soul. I usually have music in the background with whatever I do. I enjoy going to music festivals. I enjoy most genres, but not a big fan of rap or metal. I basically listen to anything else. I do want to learn to play an instrument in the near future.

I loooove a good book. I mostly read romance and drama (such a girl)

And I obviously enjoy a good movie (who doesn't)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feeding and kissing a tame hippo! One of the coolest things I got to experience in South Africa.

Hiking the Otter trail in South Africa- definitely the most challenging but the most beautiful hike I have ever done!

I have done the worlds' highest bungee jump- its in a beautiful area in South Africa (garden route) such a thrilling experience!

Also climbing up a tower in Florence, Italy. The most beautiful, peaceful and amazing day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about other cultures and cuisine. Would be awesome if you can teach me to make a traditional meal. Sharing travel stories is always fun and inspires me for my next adventure!
I would love to learn more about photography.

I can teach you about South-African culture and cuisine

I'm a nurse and thus I'm very interested in people. Where they come from, their background, things they have learned in life and how they perceive life. We can learn a lot from one another...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope to show people what South Africa has to offer. Including our gorgeous scenery, thrilling outdoor experiences and great food!

I have recently moved to Johannesburg, so I would love to explore the city with some great company.
