I am an Archaeology and Linguistics graduate from the University of Cape Town planning on doing honours in either educational linguistics or historical archaeology). I enjoy romantic strolls through the 'veld', pointing at plants I know the names of and picking up interesting things – my most recent haul includes three rocks and an abalone and periwinkle shell. I also happen to be the writer of a blog (here's the link if you are interested https://mabethc.wordpress.com/).
I am fairly clumsy and awkward, but this creates great opportunities for laughing, which is another reason why it is great to keep me about. I also have great taste in music and gin. When I am not blogging or excavating, you can find me baking or gardening (usually wearing a flower crown or amazing headscarf, with great tunes pumping in the background)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently au pairing in the Netherlands and would love to get to know the country and continent a lot better.
