I am aiming to become self sustainable. I practice permaculture at my home and have chickens, bees, a natural pond with tilapia. I also have close to 40 varieties of fruit, nut and spice trees. My home is on the Palmiet Nature Reserve and my frontage is the Palmiet River. I am passionate about the environment and am the queen of recycling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting people. I recently spent three months in Europe and would like to travel in South Africa this year with my 84 year old mom
