About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Resuscitating the tea, coffee and wine industry in Zimbabwe as well as creating market linkages.

ABOUT ME

I started a tea company marketing African teas in London whilst working, after the "bloodless coup" of Novemeber 2018 I was amongst the wave Zimbabweans that returned. I am still optimistic about the future of Zimbabwe but am a strong advocate for promoting trade. I'm a farmer's daughter so have a close affinity to the soil and its products. I am knowledgable in (legal) herbs, tea, coffee and studying wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a waste of oxygen, live life :-)
Make a plan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a huge advocate for knowledge exchange knowledge is power and the antidote to ignorance. I want to meet people I would ordinarily never meet to get an understanding of certain views and ways of life.

I'm also hoping to show people that there is more to Zimbabwe than "Robert Mugabe"

Interests

TEA!!!!
Playing the guitar
Quiet walks by the river
Skipping like a five year old when noone is looking ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Any book by Paulo Coelho
Acoustic music big John Mayer, Jack Johnson fan
Ed Sheeran.... list is too long and good music to be honest. Detest heavy metal music as well as music with a shallow message. Music is an art and art is a form of expression.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Received a music award from the Zimbabwe German Society for most promising musician.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach tea have been studying tea, coffee for a while and we can go through wine together. I can share my culture, I come from Zimbabwe and am shona myself.

Learn I'm not going to specify because I don't know what I don't know.

Share local dishes depending on availability of ingredients
