Born and raised in South Africa, I've been a Londoner for 14 years now and am still in love with this city. I love the mix of people, cultures and experiences that you can come across on any given day. I love to travel, but I love to stay home for days on end. I also enjoy getting a bit sideways from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people with different perspectives, ideas and stories. I want to open my home and invite more interesting experiences in.

Interests

I enjoy food, open fires, art, sun, caribbean rum, interesting people, music, the ocean, books, chocolate, dancing (especially in my kitchen), pale ales, long aimless walks, animals, chess, cycling, napping and whiskey. This list is a work in progress.

Music, Movies, and Books

My love of music is pretty broad, spanning many genres. Favourite films include Moon, True Romance, Fargo, most Coen Bro's films. TV shows I love are Soprano's, Mad Men, The Wire, Columbo (I know) and The Dog Whisperer (for reals). I love to read. Best recent reads are Bukowski's Ham on Rye and Feist's Magician. Also interested in anything touching on psychology, neuroscience or physics. One day I might even understand some of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm, amazing is a big word. I've done a few cool things like see a wild African dog, held a baby lion, been to Burning Man a couple of times, sailed around Antigua, been on a submarine... I'll have to work on this list.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a good person is the only thing that nobody can ever take away from you.

My boyfriend, Martin, and I love to cook, eat, drink and be merry until the sun comes up.
