ABOUT ME

I am a meticulous maverick. I love puzzles and playing chess. I am passionate about fashion photography and design. Currently living in Amsterdam. I like to be the change I envision in the world.

When I’m not creating slides, design in Figma, I’m photographing people and my surroundings.

I like to consider myself a proud ambassador of South Africa.

PHILOSOPHY
Work smart not hard. Stay curious. Listen to people. Approach people. Learn from their life. Journal. Create beautiful things people enjoy. Smile more. Leave a legacy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can, but I can offer travelers a compact dense tour of various features of Amsterdam city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Moscow and Paris. Loved every minute of it. I see its value as a great network builder. I want to grow my network internationally and I plan to use it next time I travel to the Americas and Europe and Asia.
