I'm a South African, travelling Europe solo for the next month. It's my first time doing travel on my own so I'm very excited and keen to meet new people and make some friends along the way!

I'm a vegetarian that loves reading, watching films and listening to music. Pretty easy going and a people person.

I'm a full-time activist and my day job is working at an NGO that empowers and mobilises low-income Black womxn in South Africa to fight for issues that affect them. I'm also a freelance photographer and film-maker so when I'm not fighting for womxn's rights I'm doing my best to understand the world through photography and film.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people and make some friends!

Interests

Any spare time I get I'm out on a photoshoot or exploring the city doing street photography. In the evenings I like to DJ and play deep house, old school hip hop and rnb and disco at the bars and clubs around town.

I like spending time in nature on hikes and long walks with friends and my dogs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tough to pick music since I listen to many different genres but the people I'm listening to at the moment are: Steve Lacy, Erykah Badu, Bonobo, Mac DeMarco, Tame Impala, Nicki Minaj and Disclosure. But I'm always keen to discover new music.

Even harder to pick films since I've got so many favorites but I have a soft spot for East Asian dramas, horrors, thrillers and Marvel movies.

Recent books I've read: Kafka on the Shore, Red Sorghum, Black Skin White Masks and A History of God.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a new years eve on a beach in Mozambique dancing salsa and kizomba whilst the sun rose.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking so always happy to exchange some recipes. I also love discovering new music, secret hangout spots and the best beer in town.
