Overview
About Me
I'm easy-going and eager to explore new places. I grew up in Southern Africa and travelled through Europe so I love learning about new cultures and places. I'm all for hanging out and taking it easy as well getting up and energetic. At the moment my life is about going with the flow.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Currently travelling through the US and am interested in meeting new people with different experiences and perspectives from my own. I've heard great things about couch surfing and wanted to join in on the experience
Interests
I sway between movie marathons and wanting to get outdoors and be active. I love anything that involves music and art. I never grew up in a big city so urban culture fascinates me and I love exploring city life. However, I enjoy getting back to my roots and keeping it simple by getting outdoors and appreciating the natural surroundings.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm not very good with names but my favourite radio station is Triple J in Australia. I'm a fan of almost any type of music particularly if you can dance to it. I'm a sucker for romance novels but and dealing into some classics from around the world. Always open to suggestions.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had the opportunity to represent my country as a swimmer at the Commonwealth Games in 2010. Walking through the opening ceremony behind my flag was probably the proudest moment of my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I think my unusual background has given me some interesting perspectives on life that I enjoy sharing with others. I'm always fascinated by other people's social experiences that differ from my own. I am extremely interested in environmental issues and sustainability movements. I have a major in sustainability from university and am always eager to discuss sustainability in the context of economics, society and the environment.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm an easy-going, open-minded person who enjoys talking about just about anything. I enjoy being challenged on my perspectives and am eager to share my experiences with others!
