ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Antonia. I am a journalist and a photographer living in Cape Town in South Africa. Since 2009 I live and work in Cape Town – I photograph weddings, engagements, portraits etc., write and also produce a radio feature every once in a while. I freelance for German and South African media. Have a look at my photography portfolio on www.dnaphotographers.com. I dream big and like to see things happening. I am a design lover. A food lover. A music lover. A piano lover. A family lover. A friend lover. A life lover.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once, but if you live once right, once is enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I give couch surfer loads of tips of what to do in Cape Town and the rest of South Africa and in future I'd like to host couch surfers in Cape Town, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is awesome, having a 'local' giving recommendations, it's such a different way to explore! I couchsurfed in the USA many years ago and recently in Norway and I guided people I stayed with around in my home town Cape Town.
