Hello fellow travelers and adventurers! I am a masters student at UBC. I moved to cold, rainy Canada all the way from sunny South Africa. It was a huge change and now I want to do some touristy stuff in my new home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a super broke student, I don't get to travel as much as I would like to. Hosting/meeting people on CS is my way of getting to experience new cultures, as well as see my own through new eyes.

Interests

• arts

Music, Movies, and Books

This is an impossible section to fill out since I change my mind more than Hogwarts changes Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, but I'll give it a try: I'm pretty much guaranteed to love anything by the Coen Brothers (No Country for Old Men, O Brother, The Big Lebowski). By the time you read this I'm probably already listening to something else but right now I am loving Cat Empire, Kaleo, Two Door Cinema Club, Nothing But Thieves, Grassy Spark (and about a hundred other artists/bands).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent 18 hours in a car with my best friends, driving across the country for a music festival! We didn’t know any of the bands playing, we just wanted one last spontaneous trip together before we graduate and move away from each other.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a musician so I’m happy to talk to you about that, and I absolutely love hearing about other people’s world experiences, so please tell me all your stories!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bad sense of humour, love of terrible puns and my mediocre cooking skills.
