I am currently taking a gap year as an au pair in the Nederlands, but I come from South Africa. I am liberal, cooperative, peaceful, trustworthy and excited to absorb new cultures. I adore coffee/tea/wine-dates, picnics, good music and nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an au pair, thus all travelling happens within a tight budget. I am not big on luxury and don't mind sleeping on a generous stranger's couch. I also have a desire to experience new cultures from within their homes.

Interests

I am passionate about reading, indie/folk/southern/blues/garage rock music, festivals, dance, history, food, movies and series, hikes, picnics and learning.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to rock, usually read realistic fiction set in well-known historic backgrounds and I watch all kinds of movies and series (and open to suggestions).
