I'm a down-to-earth, easy going and friendly person who enjoys learning new things, meeting new people and getting involved. I'm very responsible and believe respect for one another is very important.

I like to live simply and enjoy the small pleasures in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My boyfriend and I are travelling around South America, mainly doing volunteer work in exchange for accommodation. We are using Couchsurfing for the first time because we are coming to the end of our trip and there is not enough time to volunteer anymore (although we are still happy to help out if there is anything you need). We like the idea of meeting locals in the cities that we visit and want to continue this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of our travels and knowledge of the South African culture and current affairs.

I can teach English (and my boyfriend can teach German). I can also teach you some words in isiXhosa ( an African click language)!

We are happy to help out around your house as well and put our education in civil engineering to the test if you are planning on doing any construction work.
