Hi there!
I'm a South African passionate about adventure and social change. I grew up in South Africa but now live in lovely Brighton.

I work for a university research centre that does social care and mental health research, and before I moved to the UK i worked for a grassroots charity in rural South Africa, a management consultancy and a policy organisation.

I try hop over to Europe (and beyond!) to explore as many new places as I can. I love learning about how everyday life is in different places, and try to avoid tourist traps and travelling clichés…

Looking forward to making friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think traveling is not just about being a tourist in a city - it's about feeling what it is like to live there, and getting local perspectives. I am thus very keen to meet people who can give me a more genuine travelling experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a native English speaker, so if you need practice we can have great conversations!
I also love talking about my travels, different world views and politics - I find everyone's unique opinion teaches me so much about the world.
Oh, and I do dishes!
