Current Mission:
To be courageous and kind. A little goes a long way.

About Me:
I moved to Basel, Switzerland in January 2016 to work as an au pair. I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa - but my family is originally from the tiny island Madeira, Portugal. I've been trying to do as much travelling as possible during my year in Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time couch surfing, but I think that the best way to visit a city is from within. Learning things from the locals that no tour guide could ever teach. I'm excited to make some beautiful memories!
