I am generally content to be exactly where I find myself, and I intend for that to be all over the place.

I have spent my entire life in a semi-rural part of Cape Town called Noordhoek. It is absolutely beautiful here and I love it! Recently, however, the travel bug has bitten and I have withdrawn from the Masters I was studying (in Environment and Sustainability), sold my things, and am letting this crazy universe take me where it wants to.

I love anything that involves being outdoors- hiking, gardening, swimming in the sea. The more sun the better! I am also a vegetarian and like to look after this body of mine; it is the only one I have. Same goes for this planet. I would be very keen to stay with anyone or host anyone that is up for interesting chats, adventures that are free (the best kind), and who is generally excited about how exciting life is!

I am also just as content to sit quietly and watch the world go by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with wonderful, interesting people. To help make my adventures a reality, and to help others that are on a similar path. To give and receive in abundance!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitched rides for a month through the amazingly beautiful South African Wild Coast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach and learn as much as possible about living consciously and sustainably. Life is a series of lessons and opportunities to teach, and all one needs is the willingness and openness to receive it. I love to cook vegetarian food and I suppose I could teach this - although intuition is all you need. I can share my ideas, my warmth, and my gratitude.

Over the past while I have been learning about organic gardening, a great deal about health and diet, the healing wonders of herbs and other plants. I am always eager for the opportunity to learn more in these areas and am always happy to pass on what I've learned. I am keen to learn more about just about anything!
