Hi there. I am from Johannesburg, South Africa, and have just returned from a year's travels in Europe while working as an independent media professional (freelance journalist/corporate writer/editor/translator). Now that I am home again, I'm happy to share my space with travellers - would love to hear where you've been and what you've seen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel and travellers! And keeping things affordable.

Interests

All kinds of stuff, but mostly to see the world. And, as a journalist, current affairs, of course. :-)

• writing
• traveling
• communications
• freelancing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music for the feeling and meaning of it, but I really prefer silence and the sounds of nature. Movies... nah. Books - I belong to a book club which has me reading a good number of books, but I really love reading about current affairs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam the mighty river Rhine.
