Music, Movies, and Books

Indie music, some classical music, rock music, all sorts of music. "To Lose Someone" by Taken By Trees is freaking amazing!

There are too many films to possibly choose my favourite. I like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Suite Francaise and Thor and The English Patient.

Same story with books. I'm currently reading The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, by Catherynne M Valente. It's wonderful!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made it through High School without "accidentally" killing anyone. (I'm joking, of course. I'm not a murderer. Please let me sleep on your couch.)

Ok, serious answer: I think the most amazing thing I've done is to train and take care of my horse. I still miss him a lot...He died about four years ago. We learnt a lot from each other.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to act, how to play improv games. I can teach you how to swear in Afrikaans and English. I can teach you how to make a cappuccino with a whisk and a lot of patience.

I would like to learn almost anything that you'd like to teach me. I'm really not picky. Learning is awesome. :)

I can share my singing voice, stories of my travels and adventures, and my opinions and thoughts about life.

And I make a mean spaghetti bolognese.

What I Can Share with Hosts
