CURRENT MISSION

...re-establish the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently working on my master's in microbiology at the University of Pretoria.

I used to work on the roll of hexakisphosphate (IP6)in DNA double-strand break repair by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ).

Science!

Personality wise, I'm the kid that rounds everyone up for a spur of the moment camping trip, or that you might end up drinking with till 6am without noticing it, or the one who starts the conversation with the perfect stranger who ends up becoming our best friend, you know what I mean? I love that stuff, it makes all this fun.

PHILOSOPHY

flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel because it opens my heart up to the world, and I host to pass that feeling on.

Interests

To be with one hundred new faces a day when it is five am and the sun has charred the other side of the world and come back to us painting the smoke over our heads an imperial violet.

To provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece that you will paint inside your eyelids.

Feeling love of life swell in me till I feel like I may pass out.
