About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live bigger, to take all experiences as good experiences and to see the world through new eyes.

ABOUT ME

A traveller at heart. When I'm on the road, I am a completely different person. Outgoing, fun, adventurous and ready to throw away my structured life to take on the world. I like that person. I try to be that person in my everyday life. Unfortunately I don't get to spend a lot of time on the road due to work. So I live vicariously through my travel friends, plan trips, and hopefully start getting more involved in the couch surfing experience. I love life, I love beauty, and I look for it everywhere. I love meeting new people, hearing about their travels, and having good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to take one day at a time. Why worry about tomorrow? Why worry about yesterday? Today is here, this is where I want to spend my time. I live to be a better person. Through going places that will change the way I see the world. Meeting people that will change the way I think. And living my life in the same way so I can challenge the way others think. Living bigger.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

1. DC - Staci and Derek. An awesome first experience. I was nervous at first but they made me feel comfortable straight away.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Colosseum. Its not something life changing but to me it showed me that people come and go. To be standing in the middle of that history, that made me think.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hopefully I can teach people something about South Africa that will change their preconceived ideas and perspective on this beautiful country.
