About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a kickass story teller for the grandkids one day..so the adventures are mandatory :)

ABOUT ME

hmmm...once a diligent , slightly shy and serious ballet dancer in the making. Then the day came when my passion had become a job and so i ended up being a pilates instructor. Very rewarding helping people realize their potential and making special connections. Then , impossible to ignore or excuse away any longer..the itchy feet feeling brought me to Switzerland to work as an au pair. The more i see of the world the less i see my self able to settle into my old life of restrictions and responsibilities . One day i will start a lovely family but for now i want freedom and to feel like a child as i explore the corners of this earth and make friends with like minded spirits.

PHILOSOPHY

'He who has not traveled has read but one page of the book of life'

'If it's out there , I WANT to see it , taste it , smell it , meet them and grow from it all'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

at the moment unfortunately all i can offer is my knowledge of Switzerland and South Africa. But one day when this bird stays somewhere long enough for a couch it will be in a home with doors opened warmly to surfers!
If anyone is ever in Switzerland looking for some advice or some friends to make some sweet memories with I am your girl! GET IN TOUCH!
