About Me

South African student/yogi/foodie on a journey to Italy. This is my first time using CS and it looks super cool.

After getting accepted to do a winter school at Trento University, I decided to spend some time exploring Europe.

I love special experiences, wholesome moments and gripping conversation. I am open to new experiences, and super keen to experience different food cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about travelling and would like to optimise my European experience. My goal is to sidestep the obvious tourist attractions and experience the hidden gems of Europe. CS also offers more local experiences and offers the opportunity to meet local people.

Interests

Yoga, food culture, wine, conversation, and tea are my biggest passions.

  • yoga
  • science
  • travel
  • food
  • tea
  • cultures
  • reading books
  • experiences

Music, Movies, and Books

Any music with soul, emotion, and a beat. My go to is rap music, with an emphasis on the poetry. J-Cole ALWAYS speaks my mind. Recently got into ambient indie music, chill rock, and John Mayer.

I am travelling with Yuval Noah Harari's 21 lessons for the 21st Century. It is blowing my mind as much Europe's history and culture.

Currently, I am looking to finish the latest season of Mr Robot. I love artistic movies, Creed, Ratatouille, Mulan!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling through Europe is pretty amazing to me 👌👌. My wildest experience so far in Europe has been climbing through the Catacomb in Paris.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is about the journey, and not the destination. At no point to I want to stop learning. My goal is to enjoy and learn from all the experiences, cultures and people life throws at me. I also try to add value and meaning to my experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't mind the tears from cutting up onions. When we cook, I will be a right-hand man and offern great banter. A box of Rooibos Tea is also travelling with me. Can offer some great company and relaxing tea 🙏🙏🙏.
