Hello my name is Tersia I am a 23 year old female that is very very eager to travel the world and see the places through local eyes ( if you are too busy I would even appreciate some advice on places to see) I am very much a people's person and I would probably be described by my friends as happy, bubbly, funny, outgoing and open minded.

I am an Audiologist by degree and profession, that is someone who works with peoples hearing and related disorders. I absolutely love what i do and working with people and helping them is the best part of my day.

I enjoy many things, from reading a good book with a glass of wine with some classical music in the background to staying in clubs until the sun comes up. I would say my interests are very versatile!

I love taking photos of people/things on my film camera and I am quite good at crafts and I will bring you something I made in my country if you will have me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because of my very demanding degree and my year of internship(2020) I have dedicated the first 6 months of 2021 to travelling before starting my Masters.

My bestfriend and I have decided to travel and backpack through Europe but because of the South Afrian currency (Rand) being very weak to the Euro we decided to give Couchsurfing a go so our budgets can stretch a little :) .

I would love to tell you stories about my country and teach you phrases in a few of our 11 official languages we have in South Africa.

We are two very considerate human beings and would never abuse your hospitality should you choose to host us.
