I'm an easygoing, flexible and fun-loving person. I enjoy meeting new people and discovering new places. I am a little bit silly and can provide some laughs here and there. I like to think that I am polite and considerate. I am curious and eager to learn new things and also to share experiences and history about my beautiful home country, South Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about travel and I like the idea of getting off the tourist track - and what better way to do that than meeting with people who actually live in an area? I would love to meet new people and perhaps make some good friends on the way. I would like to use this platform both for accommodation and to meet up with similar minded people who like to explore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am TEFL - Teach English as a Foreign Language - accredited and would love to assist my hosts in practicing their English. I love languages and would also love to learn some new ones. I am also an eager (mostly successful) cook and would be happy to provide my hosts with meals after a long day at work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook for my hosts and share a bit of my home country, South Africa, with you. I would also like to help my hosts improve their English or perhaps even practice a bit of German. I may be able to provide some comedic relief. I love animals and would adore taking yours for a walk (no really, I would) and to help in whichever way I can to thank you for taking me into your home.
