I am passionate- about living, learning, travelling, art, music, dancing, writing, meeting people...

I like to think im a pretty badass bitch- strong, independent, opinionated but incredibly open minded. I am also an understanding, compassionate and sociable person.

I enjoy time on my own- I like to explore places by myself, write and clear my head.

I'm also totally fun to hang out with :D

At the moment I'm staying with my dad so I unfortunately can't host but when I'm set up with my own place in a couple of months I'm going to hit the hosting hard! I'm always keen to meet new people or show you around joburg when possible though :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people and locals of countries. Staying with a CS host is a way to really enrich your travel experience. The people I have met through this network- not just surfing but events and hangouts too- have been the most incredible! I am continuously blown away by the kindness, open mindedness and community of the CS network.

When I am back home and have my living situation sorted I also intend to host frequently and give back to the travelling community.

Interests

All forms of art- literature, film, theatre, dance, music, visual art, architecture, etc. I enjoy reading, writing and watching live music. I also enjoy cooking, socialising and philosophy. And of course travel. I also like to play guitar and sing but I'm not good at this at all. I also enjoy seeing nature and outdoor activities. I am very adventurous.
