*I will be travelling in June so will only be hosting again in July :)*

I grew up in London, UK and have traveled a lot, but Cape Town is the first time that I'm living abroad! Feel like I have built a strong connection with the mother city in the couple of years I've been here.

Especially love spontaneous/short notice road trips, as well as cooking and sharing meals.

I have undertaken studies and work in Architecture, Politics, Teaching, Biomimicry, Business and Finance... keen to continue learning new things every year!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best way to travel, and there is a strong community here in CT :)
