Anita - I'm a restless soul. Always exploring everything around me, specially light…
Roaming with a hungry heart. I love meeting interesting people. I am quite impulsive.
I am always willing to get out of my comfort zone to learn and grow. I absolutely love a challenge.
I also sing sometimes. Allan says I got a voice from the 1920's.
I like to imagine myself being from Hispanic or Persian descent, even though I'm not. I just love the way they move, eat and sing.
Currently living with my partner Allan in Johannesburg, South Africa

About Allan - He is the perfect mix between an engineer-nerd and an artist. He loves everything French. He does parkour in his free time and has introduced me to so many MUST-watch art films. He had a band years ago, and now he plays solo guitar and sings. He loves putting effort into everything he does. Nothing is just 'sommer'. (Ask us what that means ;-) He is a humorous pessimist who LOVES life ! :)

We will be traveling on and off the next 3 months, so will only be hosting travellers from end of September again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer a couch and a warm hearted host rather than a big silky hotel bed with the smell of money.
That could be nice too sometimes just to experience, but people do not talk to each other in Hotels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Skydiving 16 000 feet in Abel Tasman, New Zealand

-Backflipped from a 7m high deck into the ocean in Halong Bay on my 22nd birthday.

-Driving on a scooter without a helmet through the countryside around Hampi, India

-Canoeing through a dam on our farm in a middle of a rain storm.

-Got chased by traffic-police on our Quad bikes in a small town called Viljoenskroon, and we got away. Most exciting feeling ever. The adrenaline was overwelming.

-Watched the fireworks at the end of a San Fermin festival in Pamplona.

-Hiked the Path of the Gods from Bomerano to Positano on the Amalfi Coast.

-Watched a herd of about 500 buffaloes coming down to drink water in the Crocodile river between Kruger National Park and Marloth park.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give photography tips and do some portraits of you
I can teach a little bit of Afrikaans. I can share my stories. I would love to learn some Spanish!
My partner and I are both musical. We both sing and we play the guitar and piano

Philosophy:
The problem is when you think you know everything. The secret is to unlearn what we have been taught.
