Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel the world and gain knowledge and experience through learning and sharing experience with people from all different cultures and backgrounds...
Oh yeah, and to play and share music wherever I go!
ABOUT ME
I'm a 28 year old singer-songwriter born in Johannesburg, South Africa but have spent most of my life living in Toronto, Canada. I have a passion for travelling and meeting new people - sharing stories, experiences, playing music together.
Recently moved to Amsterdam and loving the city and all that it has to offer!
PHILOSOPHY
Luck favors the bold.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
By hosting those who need a place to stay and teaching them about where I come from and showing them around.
I also participate by couch surfing and extending my network of people I know and can learn from all over the world!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
When I first lived in Amsterdam as a student I always had people staying at my apartment, usually they were referred to me by friends of friends and that's what got me into couch surfing! They all told me about it and shared their stories with me- there is no better way to explore the world and experience different cultures!!!!!
Interests
I love performing, writing new music and entertaining people. I have performed all over the world and wherever I go I take my guitar with me. I want to travel the world with my guitar! :)
Other than that I'm really into reading (studied English and Literature at university), sports (spent two months in South Africa checking out the world cup!), and anything travel related.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Definitely experiencing the World Cup in South Africa. This absolutely blew my mind and was one of the the greatest experiences EVER - also travelling throughout southern Africa and bungee jumping over the Zambezi River!)
My favorite extended experience was when I lived in Amsterdam for almost a year. What an unbelievable city and country. Riding my bike every single day, eating amazing cheese and meeting the coolest people in the world!
