About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit (at least) four new countries a year!

ABOUT ME

'Dynamic' seems to be the most apt word to describe me. I’m a creative, self-motivated and very enthusiastic. I’m extremely driven and somewhat of an opportunist. In fact, I’ll try anything once… as long as it’s safe and legal!

I have this fairly idyllic dream of speaking six languages, travelling the world, experiencing a plethora of cultures, and eating as many interesting things that I find along the way. The languages are slowly getting there, and the serious travelling has now begun. I spent a few months last year au pairing in Italy (and Spain); a land where the culture is so different to that of home. And it was beautiful! Officially, the travel bug bit, and I’ve now made a concerted effort to travel as often as what is possible.

Up until June 2013, I lived in Argentina - a dream that has finally become reality! I worked and lived on an estancia & polo club... a far cry from the bustling city life I'm accustomed to!

For now, I'm back in Johannesburg, exploring the concrete jungle one restaurant/craft beer house/park/festival at a time.

PHILOSOPHY

You learn something new every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm more than keen to meet up with anybody for a coffee, to share travel stories, to take a whirl on a dance floor, and make new memories!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Multiple 'meeting-ups' with fellow travelers over the years! All of them were an adventure!

Interests

I'm an avid photographer! Cooking and dinner parties get me going too. I've tried my hand at playing the piano and guitar. And am always keen for a spot of dancing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Dancing salsa in the streets of Madrid.
- Walking into the Sistine Chapel for the first time… now that’s a work of art! The pictures of the Sistine’s ceiling do it no justice. It was breath-taking. I had goosebumps. And I shed a tear. Wow!
- Chilling with lions in South Africa.
- Dancing tango in Buenos Aires.
