Originally from South Africa. I’m a trained scientist but currently teaching in China and have taught in South Korea so that I can travel around Asia for this chapter of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and learn about people from other nations. What a wonderful world.

Interests

I love life, science, nature and the outdoors! I studied geology and majored in environmental soil science so I love earth! I’m also fascinated by the new people I get to meet, and hear a little bit about their stories and backgrounds. What a time to be alive in that I get to be a part of this exchange community.

I’m deeply intrigued by the scary thought of what the future is turning out to be like. Again, what a time to be alive.

Music, Movies, and Books

I feel like my taste in music is far too broad to noted but to narrow it down I’d say anything ranging from classical to alternative metal Or techno.

Mmmmm... I love reading mostly nonfiction books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Midnight swimming in a dam. Competing and placing at the South African rowing championships. Growing up on a farm with lots of roaming space and animals around (ie best childhood anyone could ask for).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new things and furthering my knowledge, and from the little bit of traveling that I’ve done I’ve come to realise that traveling is an education on its own!
