CURRENT MISSION

Cape Town

ABOUT ME

My interests are pretty broad, and I'm keen to try as many new things as possible. I love athletics and cycling. Always happy to swap the car for bike, especially in summer. - currently training for an ultra marathon -

I'm an outdoors person, and I really want to go hiking, meet new people and experience different cultures. In general: Health, fitness and adventure.

Im also really keen on photography and design.

I no longer want to be a tourist who visits a place without getting to know both the area and it's people. It would be awesome to really feel like part of the community for just a short period of time to really experience what it's like to live in a country. That's something a hotel deprives you of and one of my main reasons for couchsurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

"I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something". - Steve Jobs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a couple of times, which has been amazing. I have also had the best time surfing myself. I am not currently able to host.

Interests

I'm currently working as a barista in a cycle café to fund my travelling. When I am not working, I am usually out cycling, running or spending time with family and friends. Sometimes I find time to attend university.

So my interests include sports, cooking and design. I'm also into music, and love going to concerts when I can.

Other random interests include: hiking, good food, learning about different cultures, volunteering, making a difference, sport psychology and probably loads more!

Recently I've become a bit addicted to good coffee...
