About Me

Friendly, open minded girl from South Africa ,walking, riding, seeing the world. Big heart, big spirit, big laugh....love the outdoors...and indoors too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be a traveler...not a tourist. I don't want to find myself living in Hotels and B&B's ticking off the tourist list. Instead, I want to be engulfed by another human being's culture, way of life, belief system, friends, family, routine, lifestyle.....to learn from others, grow with them and explore with them....and hopefully I can return the favour for many Couchsurfers when I'm back home in Cape Town

Interests

My circle of friends and our shared love for music and all the simple, most beautiful things are the highlight of my life. We spend our weekends away in amazing destinations in and around beautiful Cape Town and Johannesburg....being involved in our incredible music scene and exploring our amazing country.

Hiking, BBQ, beach anytime day or night, clubbing, music festivals, Reading, yoga, cooking, Camping

And hoping to add a whole lot more to this list in the coming months.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love good music. Thought provoking films and good books. I'm not one for anything that is curated for a mass audience.

I have deep love for electronic music - from house to techno, drum n bass, synth pop, disco, experimental, electronica, I also love alternative of the 90's, jazz, good old swing, the poprock of the 60's, hip hop and a bit of funk never hurt anyone either

Films: Amelie, Cloud Atlas, Anything by Hayao Miyazaki, A waking Life, A Scanner Darkly, Napoleon Dynamite, La Vie En Rose, Anything by Quentin Tarantino, Almost Famous, The Boat that Rocked, Across The Universe, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas....

Books: Shantaram, A new Earth, Eat Pray Love, Last night a dj saved my life, Wild, My Wooky Book, Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough one and I hope that the answer will change often....but for now I'd have to say leaving my job, home and life for the sake of travel, exploration and adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm starting a journey of frolicking.

The aim here is to travel the world, learning the dances native to each different country or city that I visit. Learning about the rituals and origins behind those dances, how they came about and how they are practiced today. To connect with the world through dance and hopefully spread a bit of its joy to the people I meet along my travels
