I am an actress and vocalist. I love all things theatre and musical whether combined or independently. Metal head. Music festival junkie. Adrenaline bunny. (any festival junkie Actually.. I love a crowd of people gathered with the intention of being merry)

I grew up in the same house for 22 years in Johannesburg South Africa and did my honours in Drama, Film and Art history at Wits university.

Iv always had my head in the clouds.. The wanderlust runs deep! One magical evening across a campfire of strangers at a music festival I met my now best friend 12 days before she left the country to work as cabin crew in Abu Dhabi.
That sounded like a wonderful way to see. The world so I said I'l see you there and 4 years later I joined her and went to work for an airline in Dubai.
I went to many wonderful places and spent 3 action packed years in Dubai had priceless adventures and finally bid adue to countless beautiful coffee companions to go back to my passion and the love of my life.. The stage!

Just recently moved to China.
Living in Shenzhen
I love meeting open minded strangers and sharing coffee, stories and micro mission adventures.

I know all the best coffee spots in my home town and some others abroad.
I make a magic chicken soup (no longer.. Vegaterian now) and fresh pasta!

I'm always looking for a way to see more and go explore. I'l never get enough of the elevating experience of travel. Happy meetings merry future friends <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost
I have a high regard for the kindness of strangers opening up their homes so before all else I offer respect.
I am clean, considerate and quiet if you want me to be. I can be unobtrusive and keep myself busy.

If you, like I, love a good energy exchange then along with a collection of stories I'm happy to tell and retell I will glady pour through my photographs with anyone willing to view them.

I make a great cup of morning coffee but only the way it should be made... Black.

I will sing you an endless serenade of songs with a little WiFi and a backing track or a local musician wanting to jam.

I will run lines with any fellow actor or enthusiast.
Recite poetry or bits of plays for you.

I like to think I'm decent company particularly if you have an interest in exploring some beautiful bit of nature/ face of rock that requires a partner to belay/ new band at a Bar/ tasty bottle of wine.

If your a red wine fan and I manage to keep a good southafrican bottle in my backpack you are very welcome to my pinotage.

If your looking for a dancing partner for the evening or a mosh pit partner Im your girl!

I will send you post cards if that's your thing..
I sent my gran over 200 during my crew days

I am happy to record personal happybirthday
Songs.. Or voice notes for future use.
If you teach happy birthday to me in anouther language I will do my very best to sing that too.

Last but not least: I shall happily cook you a tasty soup Vegetarian or chicken dishes I'm afraid but they are very tasty!

Finally if you are ever in joburg or have a friend who is while I don't have a couch for them I do have transport and free time to hang out about the city and plenty of good coffee.
