I'm currently living in Barcelona finishing my book and learning Spanish (and a little Catalan!) I was born and raised in South Africa but I now live permanently in Brisbane, Australia. Between Australia and South Africa I lived in London for around 6 years and the USA for around 1 year. For the past few years I have been writing my PhD in Feminist Politics and Philosophy. I am easy going, friendly, independent, and love meeting people and creating new memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and experiencing the places I visit from the perspective of a local. Humanity in all its guises fascinates me. I thrive on meeting new people and exploring what makes us each one of us tick.
