CURRENT MISSION

French it up!

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Olivia, a 19 year old from Johannesburg, South Africa. I finished high school in December 2010 and I'm taking a year off before I head to the University of Cape Town in 2012 to study English and French. I'm spending this year in France, hoping to become fluent in the language and explore this beautiful country. I was bitten by the travel bug early - I've travelled extensively with my family, but this year I'm doing it toute seule! I absolutely love music (I play the trumpet and piano), arty movies and good food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CouchSurfing... I don't have a couch to offer at the moment, so right now I'm looking to meet people and find places to crash :)
