I am lighthearted, free, easy going and rather collected. Deeply centered in my energy and grounded in good vibes only :D I am from a small fishing community along the west coast of South Africa and am at my happiest when I get to experience water. Soul soothing!

I am highly adaptive and can easily connect with people. I communicate easily and I value honesty.

I have three simple outlooks on life: "I am because of you" - "It is what it is" - "coffeeeeeeee"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel to various places and exciting spaces. Over the years I have learnt to expect the unexpected. Sometimes travel arrangements does not always work out completely - and when that day comes around, I turn to the CSing community to help me out. Of course this also goes the other way around because I know how it feels to look around for a roof above your head.

Extra information: a few years ago I travelled through Germany, I could not find a place to sleep and ended up spending a night in a homeless shelter*!

*To avoid such events to take place again, I turn to this space

Music, Movies, and Books

If it resonates - I am hooked! Recently I have been listening to Lauv as an alternative to Ed Sheeran - my Ed Sheeran singalong game is lit! The occasional HipHop, RnB, EDM, Trance, Dubstep, Trap, Epidemic and Indie sends good vibrations through my body.

On movies: Give me The LionKing any day of the week! Or any animation movie. Humour gets me going - Comedy, RomCom, Drama, Action, Thriller. Somehow weirdly addicted to reality gameshows on Netflix

Currently reading more academic papers than books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in the Tromso fjord after jumping off a little boat that had a jacuzzi, sauna and a Japanese-style steam room. Scene: snowcapped mountains, grey skies, light rain, calm waters and a rainbow. Bliss!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about cultures!
the easiest way is through food...
Show me your traditional/favourite meals and I'll show you mine.

I come from a place where "each one teach one"
After meeting amazing people, around the world, as a result, I know how to:
dance with fire (fire poi), a few card tricks, Yoga, Surf, Poetry, Sketching, and solve a Rubic's Cube

What I Can Share with Hosts

The region in South Africa I grew up in has an indigenous tea - Rooibos.

I often bring this gift with me on my travels to share "a taste of home". The tea is naturally red in colour with no colourants added. It boasts amazing health properties and makes for amazing conversation starters the next time you'll prepare a drink for your group of friends.
