CURRENT MISSION

Road trip the north island of New Zealand with my best friend, Kelsey!

GENERAL

I grew up in South Africa, but spent my teenage years in San Diego, California. Since then I have moved to Minnesota, where I attend and play football for Macalester College. I am studying Neuroscience and Community & Global Health with the hope of ending up at med school in the future; however, there's no rush on that, as I want to be able to travel and experience the different cultures of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I chose my university because of the emphasis it puts on internationalism and diversity. As a dual citizen, a traveler, and a curious soul, the experiences of others help shape and mold me as a person. I hope to meet interesting people that can change me for the better, and I hope I can maybe have a similar effect (affect? Fuck...) on someone else's life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned aerial silks in less than 3 months to perform in a Senior Thesis for my high school's Theater Conservatory... That basically got rid of my fear of heights and being on stage.

Teach, Learn, Share
