Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current goal is to learn, learn through travel and by meeting new people and learning of their life experiences. I want to experience as much as I possibly can before I eventually settle down. I'm open minded and can't get enough of what the world has
ABOUT ME
I'm an adventurous person, I love meeting new people and experiencing life to the fullest. I'm a quiet and relaxed person but I'm not shy of a party, at all. I drink occasionally, but since I'll be in the USA I'll be just shy of being legal. I'm currently on my second gap year, and am trying to travel the world as best I can on a student budget. I live in South Africa and have all my life, I can speak Afrikaans, English and even German.
This will be my second trip to the USA but this time I'll be trying to couch surf more (I've never actually done it as I've been pretty nervous) as hotels, motels and even hostels get a bit expensive, on top of that I'm absolutely sure the travel experience would be more fun as I'd get to share my story and hear so many other's stories. I love people, and so I love my sales job currently. It let's me meet new people on a daily basis and I enjoy it very much. I'm not too sure what I'd like to do for a permanent living one day but know it will have something to do with business. I enjoy business very much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've gone snorkeling with three whale sharks off the coast of Mozambique, along with being able to see Dolphins and even a turtle surface on the boat ride.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm able to offer my stories from my 19 years in life as a South African. I know I'm young but I feel I'm mature enough to experience travel to the fullest. I'm a clean person and am considerate. I keep to myself and am shy but open. I'm very open minded and enjoy discussing worldly views, religion, travel and anything else of interest. I can't cook too many things but am fairly decent and will gladly help out around the living area.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer you my company, we can exchange worldly views and perhaps I could teach you all about my beautiful country South Africa and the other countries I have visited.
