Hi! I'm Dana. I love to travel (surprise surprise) and discover new places and new people.

My favourite quote is "everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't".

I find this is a very helpful way of entering every situation...with an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I stayed at a couple of hosts while travelling in South America and really enjoyed it. Although I don't have space to host people at my home in Johannesburg, I love showing people around this beautiful city (sometimes it can be a little intimidating if you don't know where to go) :)

I always find it very easy to connect with other travellers. Just that simple act of going out of your way to learn and explore says so much about your character. Why else are we here on earth other than to learn, explore and expand? :)

Interests

I love film, specifically documentaries. I also love photography. Also crazy about yoga and nature (vegan vibesss yay)

I'm a music fanatic, anything from rock to funk, deep house to psytrance. I love attending music festivals, it's a great way to connect with like-minded people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 15 I did a 6 month exchange in France without knowing how to speak French. It was scary at first, but now I'm fluent in French and became lifelong friends with my host family.
