About Me

ABOUT ME

South African born traveler. After hitchhiking from Cape Town, South Africa to Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2012 I decided that I wanted to see more of the world and what it has to offer.
So, I found a job saved up money and moved to Europe, where I have been living and travelling for the last 3 years with 2 short trips out of Europe once to Turkey and the other to Morocco.

I also love learning new languages, I speak pretty good Spanish and the basic French and am hoping that you'll teach me a cool new phrase in your language as well..
