I’m 25, South African and I’m currently an Aupair in Seattle.The best thing about living and traveling abroad is learning about different cultures and perspectives on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living with locals is like getting to see the “behind the scenes” of the places you visit. Makes the experience so mush more real - I like that!

Interests

I love the outdoors - mountains, beaches, parks... I’m often out hiking or exploring. I’m very enthusiastic about wine - the drinking part more so than the snooty, sniffing part ;) I appreciate theatre and music performances. I would rather read a book than watch Netflix...
