An artist, a free thinker, someone who loves to create. Born in an utterly uninteresting town in South Africa, I'm using travel as a wonderful mechanism to educate myself, exchange ideas and see all the beauty the world has to offer. I think a very beautiful thing is to come to a country with no plans, or preconceptions - and just soak in all it has to offer - humans and happenstance are the best teachers. I am usually involved in doing something creative, and my paintings dot four continents, because there's no better way to leave a lasting part of yourself in a place. I can't underestimate the effect nature has on me - it's my first love, and nothing can touch me quite like the sun illuminating the ever-flowing clouds around another peak.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Talking to strangers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's talk about human connection, our comfort zones, our empathy

About yoga, meditation and altered mind states

About our routines and disciples, spontaneity and energy, about how we live

About amazing food (best discussed while eating)

About our stories and the way our cultures have formed us

About long hikes, trees, rocks, mountains, the light of dawn, nothingness of empty space

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook something, tell stories and listen to you :)
