CURRENT MISSION

Off and away on a camel around the world.

ABOUT ME

Pretty versatile and well-rounded, they would say. They have seen me strive to cycle 100km races, summit great mountains and sail around countries. Adventurous and spontaneous are definitely descriptions that would come up -- I will jump at any opportunity to share a new experience, whether in a new place or old. Academically driven -- I thrive off my university degree (Politics and Economics). Cultural -- with my love for languages (particularly French and Spanish), art and music. More importantly perhaps, friendly and interested in people. A short encounter with someone willing to live life to the full is enough to leave a smile on my face for the entire day.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, as of yet. So keen to participate, whether surfing or hosting.

兴趣

I live in a beautiful, vibrant city that is surrounded by the mountains and the sea and I take full advantage of it. When I am not involved with my university degree (BCom Politics, Philosophy and Economics) at the University of Cape Town, I am outdoors, cycling, hiking, running, sailing or enjoying a glass champagne, watching an incredible sunset. I am fluent in French and English, have a basic grounding in Afrikaans and currently studying Spanish. I love music concerts, especially festivals! And I have an insatiable appetite for travelling.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Summitting the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, in 2009. The sunrise over the volcanic ice and glaciers, after having hiked for 7 hours throughout night in -15 degree winds, was breath-taking.

My '6-week mini gap-year' in 2011. Litter picked at Glastonbury Festival, cycled along the Avon and Kennet Canal in the UK, road-tripped across Switzerland and sailed around Scotland for the Tall Ships Race.

After having visited my digs mates in Zimbabwe for three weeks, I was offered the opportunity to waitress in Seychelles, all expenses paid, two days before leaving. YES, was the answer of course. I spent the next 3 weeks slaving away so that I may travel Mahe and Alphonse (a 1 km wide island 400km south of the main island, Mahe) - the best salt water fly-fishing spot in the world! Of course, this could not have been possible without incredibly generous people...
