About Me

Passionate about wildlife conservation.
I'm easy going, love the simple life, not fussy, always up for a good laugh and not taking life too seriously.
I studied in Europe, which was such a highlight in my life. Covid cut my plans short to stay longer, so I moved back home. Now I'm with an organisation called BirdLife South Africa and get to come to Portugal for work. I'll be staying a week longer - I'm so excited to finally be back in Europe, and in a country I've never been.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had the best experience using couchsurfing in the Netherlands, so I'd like to try it in Portugal. It'll be my first time travelling solo since leaving Europe early 2020, so I'm excited and nervous about the upcoming adventure.
