About Me

ABOUT ME

20 year old Australian (though born in South Africa) who just finished a semester abroad in Colorado USA.
Now travelling countries which spark my interest!

Enjoy cooking.. something the dining halls frown upon, play the piano, love reading, hiking, exploring and so forth.

I´m in between semesters of University, and I´m currently taking this opportunity to travel around Europe.
I plan to hit France then continue to Turkey before finishing in Berlin... though this plan changes daily.

I also have a fondness for pubs!

PHILOSOPHY

As Oscar Wilde puts it ¨I am not young enough to know everything.¨
Though not for lack of trying!

I want to learn, experience, indulge and enjoy everything I can.
And it´s the people along the way which make it all possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to nearly anything, from Lady Gaga to Adele to Radiohead to Dvorak

As for reading "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is fantastic, "Perfume: Story of a murderer" is the reason I'm travelling to the south of France and for an enlightening read, you can't go wrong with "The Moral Animal" by Robert Wright

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped the highest Bridge Bungee Jump in the world (Bloukrans Bridge South Africa)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love all artisan thingys, glass blowing, iron mongering, lapidry etcetc
If anyone knows of any local businesses around, hit me up!!

I suppose if someone wants to know about chemistry..
