About Me

I love travelling and being outdoors :) I'm fairly knew to hiking and so far I'm loving it! I work as a brand marketer at an incredible company, where I get to meet people from all over the world. Outside of work I love running, reading and creative writing. My family is quite close, I have two older sisters and my parents are pretty cool. I have really great friends and we love doing things like wine tasting, camping and hiking, going away for weekends, going to the beach or out for dinner and drinks. Very sociable and enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am keen to meet new people and when travelling I love to learn from the locals. A lot of tourist sites boast the popular places which are usually overly commercial and not where the locals go. I'd like to learn about the culture, eat proper local food and not McDonalds! Apart from that I am also a young professional and trying to save some money :)

Music, Movies, and Books

This is hard...
For music I love bands like Coldplay, One Republic, Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran and so many more but I also love the rockers like Queen.
Movies - anything RomCom, but I also like some heavy dramas and scifi. It depends what mood I'm in. Not a documentary or horror fan though.
Books - My favourite author is Nora Roberts (embarrassing but I love her). For me reading is an escape, so anything I can get lost in is good. Also love Dan Brown!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff jumping! I don't know if I'll repeat it but glad I can tick it off my list. There is this amazing gorge called suicide gorge, just a short drive from Cape Town. I'd highly recommend it for any adrenaline junkies :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach what I can, hope to learn as much as I can from everyone I come into contact with and I will also share whatever I can :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My beautiful city :) I've lived in Cape Town my whole life and discover new restaurants and places all the time. This city is forever growing and expanding and is full of the most interesting and awesome people. I love doing touristy things but would also like to share some of the more local spots that may or may not be advertised.
