I am originally from South Africa and am part Swedish. I have been living between London and Indonesia (Bali & Lombok) pre pandemic. I was happily stuck in South Africa due to the Pandemic. (I was there visiting friends and family and ended up staying because at the time I thought it would be better to be with family and in Nature & ended up helping run a surf and yoga camp and doing tours around the country with surfing, hiking, foraging, fishing, Freediving, whale tours. Shark cage diving…. This past year I travelled to Miami which was super fun and have just arrived back in London.

I used to live in the UNESCO world heritage city of Bath, England where I studied Chemical Engineering.
I really love travelling and make a point of doing a solo adventure at least once a year. I enjoy exploring new cities but also love hiking, camping, climbing and being in nature. I am a very active person and have a lot of energy but I also like to relax and spend time learning new skills online.. Currently I'm learning to code and I do yoga everyday and have practiced for over 12 years. I also love weightlifting, Surfing, Scuba diving, Cycling. I also love gardening & making compost lol.
I'm really looking forward to travelling again now that the world is more open . I would love to spend more time in Asia, South East Asia and eventually South & central & more of North America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
