About Me

I absolutely love travelling. For the past few years I've spent most of my time studying, working and saving up in order to jet off somewhere in Asia for a few months. I'm a certified global hobo, in the sense that I spend as little cash as possible, eat all the local street food, sleep on people's floors and hitchhike across towns.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet up with likeminded people who enjoy travelling and want to spend time with locals in different time zones.

Interests

I love anything outlandish or adventurous. I'm always up for some casual bungee jumping or shark cage diving, a long hike up to the top of a mountain or an afternoon (or ten) of wine tasting.

In life, I'm a vegan, a pole dancer, a gymnasts and an outspoken feminist. Hopefully that doesn't scare too many people off :P

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm studying English, so it's safe to say that I love reading. My favourite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk and Ray Bradbury. Give me anything that sounds mad and I'll read it. Or anything that fall into the postmodernism genre.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my cooking skills with hosts. If you've never tried a vegan avocado cheese cake, I'm your gal. Or just some hearty South African food. Whatever it is, I love cooking, and I love learning recipes from locals, so I'll always help you out in the kitchen (sometimes to the point where you'll want to kick me out).

I also always make an effort to learn the language of the person I am staying with.
