Overview
About Me
There are many things in this world that bring me joy, hope and happiness. Im a consciously aware human who lives and breathes nature, culture and being of service while creating authentic connection with others. I love to travel, anywhere and everywhere! I am currently based in Portugal. While working on a passion project remotely, I spend my time cultivating and healing my body and mind. To connect with like-minded humans, animals and natural life is all I could ask for and Im very excited to experience Couchsurfing on this new adventure!
***I don’t use CS to flirt or look for a relationship. If this is your goal or motivation please don’t make contact or host me - I am highly intuitive and will see your intentions from very far away. Thank you!****
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Im looking to experience as much of local culture and way of life as possible :) I am also a HUGELY considerate guest and pride myself on making my hosts life as easy as possible when I visit. It would help me immensely to be able to save some money with accommodation as Im starting up a small business remotely and any bit helps. I honestly feel like the help I give with absolutely any tasks needed by my host will be more valuable than money. New to Couchsurfing, and excited to meet like-minded communities & people!

Music, Movies, and Books
Any and all music that is not commercial is my jam. I have worked in the electronic music industry in South Africa for a couple of years but can also lay back to some classical and dance to some rock!
My ultimate book is The Untethered Soul by Micheal A Singer. I love Dr Joe Dispenza's work too, and my favorite fiction writers are Ken Follet and Phillip Pullman.
anything Old School is good for me :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I studied Public Relations, and work as a photographic model mainly specialising in Tv commercials. I have travelled to places such as China, South Korea, Singapore, India, Germany, England, Argentina and Mexico for modelling. I also worked for many years as an in-house fit model for a local South African fashion brand.
I have experience in the music industry in South Africa as a DJ bookings manager and stage manager for various festivals and music events.
I am proficient in writing and creating any type of written content, to transcribe recordings, proofread documents or critique any body of written word :)
I would love to work in the soil of any place I am blessed to stay at. I may not be very strong physically but I welcome manual labour of sorts that nourishes well-being.
I've always been told I can sell anything that I am passionate about. If I encounter and connect with a product or brand or person which is authentic and resonates with true values, I become an impromptu self-appointed ambassador :) I also like to model for any small & local businesses or companies who can’t afford big budget shoots (at my discretion of course).
On a deeper level...
I try and succeed each day to embody empathy, kindness, compassion and loyalty.
Radical transparency is everything.
Nature and being in calmer, quiet environments are where I thrive.
