I'm from the southernmost tip of Africa, currently trying to ballance things out between my hunger for traveling and building my future as a winemaker in Tassie.

Ask me how it's going and I'll answer with stories from my travels over the past 3 years and planed travels for the next few.

Personality wise, i'm described as an ENTP, hence my desire to Couchsurf. See more, feel more. "Freedom is such a gift". Fun fact: I'm, unofficialy the bodysurfing champ of Africa. Am happy to demonstrate my dolphin like abbilities with beaching myself. Also, English is not my first language.

Places I'd love to visit include UK, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Malta and Argentina.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and experiencing how simmiliar we are in our diversity. What better way to experience someones culture, than by staying with them - to live like a local. They know the most authenric spots.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
I am a total harry Potter fan - read all the books in both Afrikaans and English. Tried reading 100 years of solitude. Cried my eyes out with Poisonwood Bible. Have read way too many espionage and spy novels.

Movies:
Always keen on Comedy, but films such as Good Will Hunting and Into the Wild deeply resonated with me. Also love to watch a good action or superhero film.

Music:
Listen to almost anything! I can never say no to playing the golden oldies, RiverFM, but 90's and early 2000's had some pumping numbers. You have to treat yourself to Afrikaans Sokkie, Dance and Hip Hop tracks. Blend it in with country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw seaturtles while snorkeled the Great Barrier reef at Cairns.

Teach, Learn, Share

On my journey of self discovery, hopefully to becoming a winemaker. Can give a lot of insight to South African thinking and share my love for my culture amd continent. Can teach a few words in my native tongue.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share my love of South Africa and inner joy for my culture and continent. We can crack a few coldies and laugh away all our worries. All in all I can offer a memorable experience with a friendly and funny South African and cook up one of my many Saffa dishes.
