I'm originally from South Africa, and have called New Zealand home for the past 7 years. I have just finished an honours degree in Cultural Anthropology & Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I've travelled with friends & family previously, and am midway through a six month trip around Europe - my first ever solo trip!

I'm passionate about: coffee, food, art, crafts, history, culture, people, travelling, politics, current events, the environment & the great outdoors. I love lively discussions and the opportunity to learn more about different people, cultures and worldviews. I'm new to couchsurfer, but hoping this becomes a great platform to engage with new people and experiences around Europe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
