About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to venture outside my comfort zone!

ABOUT ME

Hello out there! I am a young South African living in South Korea. I've been here for over 16 months now and I am absolutely loving every minute of living in Asia.

Before coming to Korea I had never left my home country but since coming I have traveled as much as I possibly could.

I'm interested in foreign cultures, especially food (I'm a food/cooking fanatic), biking, wine, coffee, fashion and just taking in the sights of different cities.

PHILOSOPHY

Make plans, then deviate from them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things that I can teach you about:

1. I am an avid lover of wine. I come from a country that is famous for it's wine making skills and I grew up in the town that produces most of South Africa's wine. So if you are a novice or an expert I would gladly sit down with you and enjoy a glass of something or other and discuss the flavors of the wine. And then finish the bottle.

2. I can play several instruments and read music. I was classically trained from a very young age, so I could teach you to read music and perhaps strum out a little ditty on something. Everyone should be able to play at least one tune!

3. I love to cook, no really, it's my passion. If you're one of those people who burns toast I could cook with you and teach you to prepare something simple and delicious. A recipe you could whip out of your back pocket and wow your friends with. Everyone should have that one thing that they're super good at making!
