About Me

Hi! I am a twenty two year old South African female, currently living in Boussac, France. I am a lover of people, languages and culture. I completed an honours degree in Investment Management in 2016. I have worked as a radio presenter and content producer, house sitter, pet sitter and investment intern. I am easy going, and easy to get along with. I am respectful and clean. I am eager to learn more about your country and culture, and, of course, teach you more about mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently travelling in Europe. I believe Couchsurfer is an excellent way of getting to know new people, and to get an authentic feel of a town or city.
