Hey I'm Carla and I am a special effects makeup artist from Cape Town, South Africa taking one year to travel Europe. I like to go on outdoor activities, exploring new foodie spots and spending time with good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that emerging with the local community is one of the best ways to learn about a new country and exploring the hidden gems.
