CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world around me, and the world inside my mind.

ABOUT ME

I am a cultural scientist, so I enjoy experiencing different cultures and learning about the many different ways of engaging with the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people who come from different backgrounds.

When I stayed in Belgium my housemates and I hosted lots of people from all over the world, and I found the experiences fascinating, rewarding and fun. I hope to have more of these types of experiences.

Also as a student from South Africa, where our exchange rate is not good, and I don't have much money to begin with, staying in hostels can be too expensive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing is a subjective term, but living in Belgium, meeting people from all over the world, and doing the same back in SA, has been amazing. The ways in which I can have more in common with a Venezuelan or a Serbian than a fellow South African, still boggles my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories, ideas, experiences, some basic cooking
