CURRENT MISSION

I am trying to see as much of the world as possible and meet as many different and interesting people as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am a South African woman who is near to finishing her studies in Paris and I want to travel around Europe with the last few months left on my Visa. I am interested in the experience of life and visiting incredible places that just make me stand still in awe of the beauty of the earth. (and im attempting to do all that on a small budget with a bad exchange rate! thank goodness for couch surfing!)

PHILOSOPHY

Why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am surfing but hopefully when I get back home I can open up my couch to people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a very good experience couch surfing in Vienna, it was a great way to meet exciting people and see their city through their eyes. They were super friendly and I got to learn all about these strangers' lives until they became like old friends.

Interests

Good movies, History, literature, music- especially live gigs and concerts, swimming in the ocean, hiking, camping, exploring places by getting lost in them, good food, tea and rainy afternoons, baking...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled across most of Southern Africa and seen incredible places and met people whose lives have touched me. I want to fully explore Europe and find unique experiences within this continent.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell people a bit about South African history and politics and maybe dissuade their illusions about lions in back gardens and such things. I love discussing music, books and movies and finding similar tastes all over the world.
