ABOUT ME

Full name Jacqueline Magdalena Webb, most people just call me Jackie.

I'm a medical doctor currently working in digital health.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every person you meet can teach you something worthwhile and you never know what someone else may gain from a kind word or action that comes from an open heart and mind.

Interests

I love food, traveling, strangers, second hand clothes from hospice, life, hiking, running, swimming, painting, doodling, day dreaming, hugs, laughing, hammocks, sunsets, bucket lists, Africa, the universe, languages, hoola hoops(even though I can't actually hoopla hoop), my family, friends, dogs, wine, home made bread, balsamic vinaigrette, the smell of chai tea, and the list could go in for days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- backpacked Europe with two best friends in 2013: visited 16 cities and many towns and met many awesome people

- traveled in Africa: Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia and my ultimate favourite Malawi ❤️

- ran my first ultra marathon in 2015: Comrades South Africa. 90 km of running from Durban to Pietrmaritzburg, completed in 11h8min. One of the most amazing, and hardest things I have done in my life (could barely walk for a week- think I had near renal failure).

- I have delivered a baby before (a few in actually fact!).
