Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I have only traveled once to tourist destinations (trip to Venice, Florence, Lake Bled, Ljubljana, Piran) and I was most disappointed with my experience in Venice. I only went for day visits and was thus overwhelmed by the tourist vibe. I realised that my experience would be much more valuable if I could experience these amazing towns through living with locals. I came across Couchsurfing and knew that this is the platform through which I can travel to touristy places, but still experience the authenticity.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach people to speak my native language, Afrikaans. It is similar to Dutch. I would love to learn a few different languages myself and maybe a few more dance styles! I can share my experience growing up in South Africa. I think there is often a big misunderstanding on what life is like over here.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can help with cooking and if the host is interested I can try and prepare some South African dish. We have some great wine in South Africa, and if the host requests some wine, I am more than willing to bring along.
My Interests
Different Cultures Nature Sports -Jogging, Cycling, Swimming, Netball Dancing - Modern, Contemporary, Ballet
