About Me

I am a small town girl that discovered how big and interesting the world can be if you open yourself up for all kinds of different people and experiences. I haven't stopped traveling since... Couch surfing is such an experience, I guess.

Interests

I am as amazed and interested by people and each person's story as I am by all the wonderful workings of nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I got on an aeroplane, was to move to another country, alone, at age 18. Definitely a 'no-turning-back' defining moment with an incredible ripple effect.

I returned to South Africa for university and explored every province of my own country - there is still so much to see and explore... I did squeeze in some international back-packing trips as well and that ended up bringing me to share life in France for the moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a great listener, an enthusiastic hopefully open-minded thinker (a good bottle of red never hurts), a fairly decent cook, easily entertained and very low-maintenance guest.
If I am hosting - "Mi casa es su casa". I hope you will make yourself at home and I'll be happy to show you around town if time allows for it.
