I am a writer and visual artist originally from Cape Town, South Africa, now living in Berlin.
I am easy come, easy go, always hoping to learn more from life and others.
I'm a queer vegetarian interested in sustainable lifestyles, botany, art, literature, music and spirituality.
You'll find me with a crystal at my neck and a notebook in hand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If my travels have taught me anything, its that when you open yourself up to the flow of giving and receiving, you'll experience more magic than you'd ever expect.

I hope that I can give back to other travelers the same hospitality I have so often received and continue to enjoy the hospitality of others as I move through life and the world.
