About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my true calling

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, companionate, friendly, fiercely loyal and very serious about coffee and education. At times I want to climb mountains, but most of the time I'm a bit lazy!

PHILOSOPHY

People that are making a difference in the environment and in their communities. We should be kind and love abundantly. Start with recycling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer my couch for a few nights, show you around (depending on my work commitment) and be a great source of travelling information. (Especially Africa)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few people already, but never surfed before.

Interests

I teach coffee- so I am very particular about it. I compete and judge at local competitions to improve on my skills. I love eating out- I have a huge appreciation for chefs and the hard work they do as well as their dedication to their careers. I love travelling, it has been in my blood since birth :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Very easy going, I read mostly fiction. I love ready cookbooks too! Music, pretty much anything, depending on my mood. Huge fan of the classics (Pink Floyd, LedZep, Stones etc) but on ocassion I love to cook to classical music or rough it up with some loud Muse or Basement jaxx! Movies- really enjoy the arty types, Horrors- NO WAY.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling with my family in Botswana on the great pans and seeing the curveture of our earth.

And being on TV at our 2012 Barista Champs- check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlqnvkxqFU4&feature=youtu.be
