About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a young journalist, born and bred in South Africa. I am currently living in South Korea where I am teaching English to the cutest little Korean kids I have ever laid eyes on. I want to travel as much as I can over the upcoming months and see the world.

ABOUT ME

I enthusiastic yet calm, organised yet relaxed and up-for-anything type of person. I love adventures, I love adrenaline and speed, particularly when racing down a mountain side on my bicycle. I am a keen surfer and rock climber, and enjoy being outdoors. I love travel, meeting new people and drinking new beers. I am not a good cook, but do try. I read a lot and love learning about new culture.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an independent woman. I believe that one should treat others as you would have them treat you. That is the golden rule.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to make friends, see the world and learn about myself and new cultures.
