I'm a very friendly person who loves to travel more than anything else. I'm young but I have been lucky enough to have seen a lot of the world and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Everyone love everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am desperate to see and experience more of the world and the idea of sharing it so closely with locals really excites me. Recently, I have had the good fortune to spend 7 months abroad and without the kindness, generosity and empathy of the other humans I crossed along the way, it would have not been possible. I am committed to giving back not only to the CS community, but to the global travel community too. I am excited to try and give back even a fraction of the love and help that I've received on my travels, back into the world. If you are in Cape Town on holiday, for studies, or for any reason at all, I am your girl for advice, hiking trails, hidden beaches and good places to eat and go out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked up Lion's Head (a mountain) in my home town, Cape Town, at full moon. Slept under the stars on the top of a mountain. Seen many incredible musicians in concert. Spent 7 months in foreign countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I work in Climate Change and have a lot to share about the environmental crisis facing our generation! I also really enjoy philosophical conversations. I love to learn about different religions and cultures, especially as having grown up an atheist. I am blessed to live in one of the most naturally beautiful cities in the world, and although I don't always succeed I try to make the most of the beaches, mountains and trails around me - I would love to share the secrets of my beautiful city with you.
