About Me

I am a person who loves connecting with people, opening my heart and opening my mind. I have grown up in Cape Town in a creative home surrounded by a big family and a lot of love. I am an easy-going and mindful person who loves to connect, explore and expand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am so inspired to meet different people from different places and to share stories and experiences. I believe the best way to travel is to truly connect with locals and to let them show you their world. Couchsurfing is an incredible community of people, people who are open and generous enough to let others into their home .... becoming a part of this community means I'm sure to meet truly remarkable people and see new places through the eyes of those who know it best.

Interests

I am a freelance graphic and web designer who works in my local context. I work with NGOs and NPOs in South Africa as well as small businesses who are doing amazing work. I am looking forward to seeing if my work can perhaps expand and move with me as my local context changes. At the moment I am about to embark on many months of travel and that is my great interest at the moment - the wish to expand my world, expand my mind and open myself to whatever the universe is going to share.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love entering the wonderful world of films and books - exploring the imaginative, the creative, the real. I have learnt so much through these mediums and am especially enjoying documentaries and TED talks at the moment. I believe music to be one of the most powerful and uniting forces of this world and listen to a huge range of different music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Run naked through the desert of Afrikaburn beneath the moon and the stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn the languages of wherever I travel. If people are willing to teach I would love to learn! And I can only really speak English but would love to teach that. I look forward to learning and sharing on many different topics and in many different ways.

What I Can Share with Hosts
