About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel, to laugh, to explore, to live and to experience...

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, fun and lively! Just enjoy learning new things and meeting new people! Hoping to travel around the world and experience everything...I lived in Aspen, Colorado, USA for 5 months and am now in South Korea teaching English.
I'm not shy and at times a little crazy. I just want to make the most of this awesome life I have been given...and explore everything on this beautiful earth.

PHILOSOPHY

SMILE....it confuses people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I lived in Aspen, Colorado, USA for 5 months and toured the states for a month and that's when I started with couch surfing. I hosted a few people and then surfed a few couches too.
I have surfed and hosted in South Africa a few times and used to attend the meet ups fairly often.
On my recent trip to Vietnam I was fortunate enough to be able to meet up with 2 couch surfers and stay with them.
In Korea I have hosted once and I have surfed twice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was horrible and nearly put me off couchsurfing. But since then I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with amazing people.
Am looking forward to many more great experiences.....

Interests

I enjoy learning about new cultures and experiencing new things! I also really enjoy reading. I love to go out and to dance. I'm always up to try new food or adventures.
I enjoy scuba diving and anything to do with the beach.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite books are:
The art of racing in the rain by Garth Stein
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl
The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
and many more I can't think of right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did the worlds highest Bungy jump and Gorge swing :) I've also paraglided and done the sky jump off the 108th floor of the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas. Camped overnight on the Great Wall of China.
I ate Balut in the Philippines and ate snake in Vietnam.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some great stories about South Africa and maybe teach a little bit of the native languages.
I also have some good stories from some of the places I have traveled. I can cook up a South African dish if there is the right ingredients.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts stories of South Africa and the other places I've visited.
I can also cook up a good local dish.
