From beautiful Cape Town, South Africa, currently living and working in South Korea.

I'm a looker and lover of all things quirky. Relaxed, humorous, curious, slightly introverted, neat, down to earth and always calm.

Spent most of my 20's building my career and taking life far too seriously.

In January I turned 29 and decided to make a change and travel into my 30's. Now I'm on a quest to break away from the corporate grind, build my portfolio as a photographer and meet as many fabulous people as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently teaching English in South Korea to fund my travels and only get a handful of short breaks until my contract comes to an end in 2016. During these short breaks I'd like to visit as many neighbouring countries as possible.

Cultural exchange is more fascinating to me than sight seeing so I'd like to partner with people that can share their local secrets while helping me avoid the obvious tourist traps.

Interests

Photography! Searching for the unusual. Anything for my eyes to feast on.

Videography & editing.

Good food. Both cooking and eating.

Collecting vinyl.

I am also an active person and enjoy any activity involving the ocean (one of my great loves), horse riding, hiking, jogging and bicycle riding.

Walking out of my corporate job, selling my car, putting my entire life into storage, saying goodbye to my friends and family... and embarking on this adventure.

and... photographing Steven Tyler.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you take a cellphone video, always go landscape!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Casual language exchange or informal English lessons.

If you have an interest in photography, videography or editing then I would also be happy to share some tips with you, maybe go on a photographic adventure through the city.

Or... if you just fancy hanging out and cooking then there's no happier place than the kitchen. You relax, take some notes and i'll do the cooking ;)
