I’m an itinerant, sparky person with one foot in Cape Town, South Africa, and another Elsewhere (always Elsewhere). My heart is torn and strewn between New York, Copenhagen, Accra, and countless beautiful cities and villages around the world, with a LOT of bits to spare for other gorgeous, glorious places (and people, of course) that I look forward to experiencing.

I work in the pharmaceutical space, having cut my teeth in the management consulting space, but feed a deep passion for music - I curate amazing playlists and collect vinyl with seriousness, and spend more money on concerts and live shows than anyone I know.

More than anything, I’m curious. The more I see, the less I know. I look forward to seeing everything I can, knowing nothing at all, and having the best time while at it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A colleague recommended this platform, and since I’m so open to trying anything on the planet - why not??
I’m looking to meet people similar/dissimilar to me wherever I go, share my own experiences and to bring gifts from my home to whoever hosts me, and I hope to host wonderful people in my home.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: ANYTHING excluding hard metal. From classical music (I got put into piano lessons from age 6) to jazz, Neo-Soul and R’n’B, to French cafe music. My favourite artists include Shafiq Husayn, Jamiroquai, Thundercat, and Simphiwe Dana, but I won’t be mad if you play anything for me. Remember, I’m curious.

Movies: I’m terrible at remembering movie titles, but I love ‘em cold, Realism with moral themes, frankness, bold acting, and brilliant script-writing.

Books: Don’t even get me started on this... I read at least two books a month - I’ve been reading since I was 5.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one?? What is deemed amazing??

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to do all the above, all the time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture, my energy, my favourite meals, my music (I’ll probably make a playlist for you), my brain, and an open ear and heart!
