About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know, conecer, conhecer.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, open-minded South African currently living and doing my Phd in Cape Town. I lived abroad in Brazil for 3 years where I did my Master's and also have travelled all over South America. While I would describe myself as an introvert, I love meeting and interacting with people from around the world in order to learn more about their cultures and languages. If you need any advice/tips for your stay or are interested in joining on some walks in nature, feel free to get in touch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing after hearing so many great experiences from other people who had done it while traveling. I started it on my trip in South America and have met so many great people as a result, many with whom I still talk to regularly. Now that I am back in South Africa, I look forward to helping others in the community as I was helped during my travels.

Interests

Hiking, nature, football, philosophy, psychology, dreaming, ambient field recording.
