A good balance of smiling and sarcasm.

Foodie 24/7!

There are apparently three times/occasions when I look like a different person:
1. When I wear my spectacles
2. When I wash my hair and it curls into a bush
3. When I'm Batman (technically I'm always Batman)

This is undoubtedly one of the most common yet difficult questions to answer. So instead I'll describe myself using my imagination.

Me? I am a cold winter night. The cabin is warm and the smell of oak is embedded in every whiff of air I take. You can hear the sound of the twigs crackling in the fireplace. Books of different shapes, sizes and colours are scattered all over the floor. There's a piping hot mug of hot chocolate (with marshmallows of course) patiently sitting on the counter. Unfinished sketches have been torn from my sketch book and are patched to the wall. And just when you think silence was the main narrater, a vinyl record slowly starts to play.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Incredible experiences with a lion cub, baby crocodile and giraffe all back in South Africa.

Went to Paris and didn't see the Eiffel Tower, how ironic.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I'll be more than willing to share my adoration for poetry, help you see the beauty in each word written.

A helping hand and a joke or two (some chocolates will have to make up for that)
