South African born, currently living in the Netherlands. I've been moving around a lot over the past few years, and am always up for something new.

Passionate about food (especially sweet foods and anything vegan) and generally plan my days around where and what to eat. I enjoy chatting about anything and everything, and consider myself an easygoing and relaxed person.

Some of my hobbies include reading in quaint cafes, drinking too much coffee, getting lost (I'm terrible with directions), aimlessly wandering around cities, visiting beaches, and just generally being outdoors.

I collect postcards, so if you stay with me I'd love a postcard from your city or somewhere you've been :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet fellow travellers and to discover nearby events. I sometimes host, and I enjoy swapping stories with different people.
