About Me

I'm a 19 year old au pair from South Africa and I'm in Germany in order to have new experiences, travel and meet new people.

I'm more than a little nerdy, and I enjoy video games, writing, reading, music, learning languages and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I would like to see as much of Germany and Europe as possible, while I'm here and meet cool people. ^ ^

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Gosh, so many....I enjoy music from different artists and genres so this is a difficult one. I like Indie, alternative, rock, some classical, I really enjoy retro music as well as music from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

Movies: I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, so stuff like Star Wars (I'm a big Star Wars fan), Lord of the Rings, V for Vendetta, The Book of Eli, but I also enjoy comedy and I also have a soft spot for old school Kung Fu movies :)

Books: I enjoy the classic literature, but particularly dystopian settings like George Orwell's "1984" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and also newer stuff like The Hunger Games trilogy, The Divergent trilogy.

Frank Herbert's "Dune" is another good one that I recently finished (just the first one in the series, looking for the other books in the series now) and I also enjoy anything written by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Big questions! There are more music, movies and books that I enjoy that I haven't mentioned here but it would take a while to get through them all so I shall stop here (derp) :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my home country after school and went to Germany by myself? -grins-

Well, I once chased a mugger but I tripped. Still tried though! So it counts, right? ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like helping out wherever I can. I enjoy chatting and hearing peoples' stories.

Also, if you happen to enjoy random semi-philosophical discussions about literature, society, the human existence and whether or not subjective reality really exists, enjoy music, watching series/movies/anime and beer, then I'm your person!

Also, I can share good thoughts and happy feelings. I don't know what else.....oh yes! When I stay with people I always try to bring chocolate or something to say thank you, so there's that as well. :P
