Well, How to discribe myself? I'm a easy going person who loves to travel more than anything in the world, being able to sit in a cafe in Paris and hear people speaking in French and while you are drinking a strong cup of coffee, that is it for me , being able to experience other cultures and attend festivals around the wolrd, My biggest stop next year is to do New Orleans jazz festival....
Being able to see the South ( In America)... then travel to New York ...........
i have traveled South africa ( 90% of it ) and i have been to Namibia as well. I have a good circle of friends who thinks that sometime i have gone crazy , that is why i had to look for like minded people so that i can believe that i'm not alone.......
i do drama in my spare time and i love performing arts, i have been to the Grahamtown festival and some day I would like to do the cannes film festival..

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.
I had a great time with Patience, she took me to a rooftop party and showed me Pretoria. She knows a lot and I really loved to discuss politics or just about anything else with her! Also, she has a sense of humor, which comes in handy when skirts fall apart... ;)

Patience is a cool girl and she lived up to her name the first time when we were supposed to meet..!
I was very lucky to meet Patience during one gathering arranged in the Pretoria CS community. During the next days she took me to see different places, we had long discussions about the history and the present of South Africa and Europe, and indeed had a lot of "patience" with my questions. She took everyday the time to meet me and spend time with me, which showed me her kindness, hospitability and curiousity. I found a South African sister :)
Patience was kind enough to respond to my group post and we met at a later date at a braai. She has a big heart and an amazing personality.

Patience was ready to host me the same evening she was returning from her own vacation! That is a true couchsurfer for you. While i had to delay my arrival by a day, Patience, in the midst of running errands & catching up from her break, made time to pick me up from, & drop me at place. I had a great 2 days at her place. As a bonus, I also got enlightened about car thefts in SA :-)! Thanks much Patience.
