I am teaching mostly underprivileged teenagers in South Africa. I aim to change the world one kid at a time. I am passionate about fostering compassion and empathy through my travels. I am tidy everywhere but my own room (that clothes chair just seems to swallow my garments and doesn't let up) and I am an extroverted introvert.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Naturally I would love to meet new people, but I'd love to learn more about your language and culture. And I'm a teacher... Making moola is not my forté.

Music, Movies, and Books

Cold Play, the OLD Paramore, WALK THE MOON, Bad Peter, Kodaline and the Fray are all my vibes.
I'm a Marvel and Lord of the Rings fanatic. I'm mostly reading non fiction now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Sodwana, I was about 1m away from a Marbled Ray. It popped out from the sand underneath me and gave me about 5 heart attacks.

Teach, Learn, Share
