Young writer residing in Cape Town, South Africa, with my twin brother. Currently working on a local soap opera as their storyliner, where my brother plays one of the lead characters. We are creative and passionate, deep thinkers and avid readers. We love great great conversations around long tables.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Keen to travel the world with the twin, but would love to experience all of it through the eyes of the locals. (Also budget traveling!)
