About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn about people, explore the world and establish who I want to be.

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm outside Cape Town and went to boarding school in the city for High School. I love learning and reading and seeing new things. I am passionate about art and hope to study art next year. I love animals and all types of people and am an avid believer in karma. I am inquisitive and love hearing about adventures. I love going on adventures myself :)

PHILOSOPHY

I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read and have enjoyed 'the perks of being a wallflower' 'the bell jar' and 'the secret garden' most of all. I love happy music or any music that carries emotion such as fleet foxes, bombay bicycle club, dire straits, sigur ros, junip and bon iver.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a 5 day walking trail through the Umfolozi reserve in South Africa with nothing, but a backpack and basic food. It was an amazing experience which taught me many things.
