About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience life & living!

ABOUT ME

Passionate is what I would say first; I am an all-or-nothing person, I embrace every experience that comes my way. I love the outdoors, all adventures, and animals… I also love people and have a real fascination to understand humans… I love to philosophise about life! I am outgoing, social, chatty and love meeting and talking to people from different walks of life and experiencing different cultures. It’s very difficult to describe anybody in a nutshell… but I basically LOVE LIFE & find every experience enriching and fulfilling… hence… travelling is part of the package! If you plan to come to South Africa please contact me, I would gladly help, this truly is a rainbow nation & country – we have so much to offer and you will never look back!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

How I know about CouchSurfing is when SA hosted the Soccer World Cup & my friend hosted people. We all became quite good friends & it was a wonderful experience.

Interests

WOW! I have so many, this might be a long list!!! Let's shorten it..I am interested in almost everything and anything - except mathematical equations & selfish, cheating, dishonest absorbed people. The rest you can bring on!

  • traveling
  • outdoor activities
  • soccer
  • world cup
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

The Travelling Wilbury's - if you don't know these guys do yourself a favour! I love The Rolling Stones... pretty much anything from the 60's & 70's... but I love most music from all genre's & era's! All rock and roll baby! Pretty much anything I can dance to or sing along!
I am grateful to be able to appreciate sound as well as sight! Movies - Quentin Tarantino does it for me, although once again so many different things and of course I am a chick so I LOVE romantic comedies! I like arty movies, but I also enjoy action and all sorts!

Books... well I'm quite fussy when it comes to books... I like true stories most... My favourite book to date is Papillon! Next might be Shantaram; The Power of One; The White Tiger; Poisonwood bible; A Fine Balance; Mao's Last Dancer; Q & A; the Keating sisters books; Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl... and many more I know I have forgotten!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Another WOW! Geewizz.. isn't the gift of life on it's own a big enough gift/event? Every day I believe to be amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok, well I am 28, I have been through quite a wide spectrum of experiences. I'm at the stage in my life where I want to learn more about life and people, for me these are the things that enrich my life. I am not a scientist or a mathematician but I find people so interesting and enjoy learning from each person's experience and understanding a bit more every day! This is what brings me closer to understanding the universe! ;0) I like to believe that fundamentally humans are good - but we are side-tracked by selfishness & 'glitter'. I suppose that I wish to learn from others & come to understand our very different ways of life as well as the reasons for our actions!
