I'm a young South African currently completing my Masters degree in Development Studies in the Netherlands. Feel most free when my heart is open and in nature with people I care for, and when I am singing, dancing, laughing. Passionate about land, agrarian, gender justice. Fully vacinated. Often travelling with my girl Amparo (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/amparo-bravo).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interested in travelling in a more connected and respectful way. I hope I can do the same for those who may choose to stay with me/my hosts.

Interests

Surfing, singing, dancing, writing, hiking, swimming. Feeling time pass with friends and family. Reading in the quiet and lying in the sun. Cooking and eating together. Spontaneous decisions and interesting plans. Learning new languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in the Tambopata river in the Peruvian Amazon at sunset is a treasured memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

Will sing along to any song. Love to be in the water with friends, teaching surfing, helping people feel comfortable in the sea. Will share knowledge and experience of my city and country as best I can. Will take you to some grooving music, beautiful natural spots, cool locations and fun people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am easy to live with and always willing to help out in the kitchen and in cleaning. Willing to learn from you and live alongside you with respect and a good laugh. Will share my experiences and thoughts with you. Open to cooking a meal together, and giving space as needed.
