Overview
About Me
I am a 26 year old South African, living in the United States. I recently moved here from Morocco to pursue my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a friendly and outgoing person always ready for an adventure. I also enjoy a good glass of wine and a fun movie! I love the beach and would attempt to surf every opportunity I get! Not the best surfer, but definitely enjoy being in the water.
