About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Chilling in SA and waiting for the World Cup 2010!!!!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Heidelberg.... a small-small:) town just outside Johannesburg, South Africa, from where I moved to a coastal town called Port Elizabeth. I lived there for 6 years while completing my Masters in Architecture at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University at the end of 2009. Im currently living in Johannesburg and will be moving to Cape Town within the next 2 months!

I have always made a huge effort to get as much traveling in as possible and usually try to catch summer all year long... so most of my travels was to Europe during their summer holidays.

I've always loved Europe very much and would not hesitate to go back any time!!! Soon!!!:)

Recently is was traveling the States and loved it just as much - different.... but awesome as well:)

I was making my way across from east to west coast by train and bus transport and finally ended up in Malibu Beach in California.

I've met a ton of amazingly friendly people till now and want to continue doing so....

I'm pretty easygoing, and I like to laugh. I like going out, but I think partying can also be chat sessions and just going with the flow. I like the outdoors and want to get into mountain climbing much more....

When coastal i do quite a bit of surfing even though i've been lazy the last year or so....
I mostly love any type of water sports including diving,skiing, wake boarding and anything to do with water....

PHILOSOPHY

Be thankful, inquisitive, and content!
