About Me

CURRENT MISSION

balanced transformation

ABOUT ME

I am a BA student at UCT, majoring in Anthropology and Religious Studies. I teach art in community development projects in South Africa, which has expanded my capacity, spirit and intuition boundlessly. I have been free spirited since I was small, which has made the desire to move,expand and travel inextricably part of my life and my experience of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

The way of the Water

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing is such an amazing way to move freely and cheaply through this world and I deeply respect that! I am happy to meet people and show them around Cape Town and hopefully host them if I can :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately I have not couchsurfed that much yet but hopefully my winds will get blown out of Cape Town soon! I was happy to have the experience of couchsurfing in my own country which was amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching documentaries of all sorts. I also always enjoy watch foreign films and gaining a glimpse into another reality. I am very into music, I play the guitar, drums and the piano and sing (only recently). Music is an inextricable part of my existence and a way that I connect with people. I love African music, funk, Afro-pop, folk, rock (the list goes on). My love of music is bound to my love for dancing and moving freely. I am into reading, Lao Tzu, D. H. Lawrence, Kahlil Gibran, Aldous Huxley and anything else that entices me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing creativity and it brings me a lot of joy to teach people art and let them play around with my materials. I also am keen to share music and to create together. I am open to learning anything and everything, I am curious about the world.
