I love people and having fun although I don't drink much or take drugs,
believe me I still have a good time! I work with children and make films and I also design and make African clothes. I love nature, art and making music, children animals and I all like each other.

Lived in Cape Town on and off for over 26 years.
Done a lot of travelling, lived in Costa Rica, got stuck there during covid for 9 months.
Then went back twice to work at Waldorf schools.

I spend summers in England and Europe and summers in Cape Town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to meet people from Latin America.
I am happy to meet people from anywhere and love to have deep, thought-provoking, and even challenging conversations. I also love to dance and sing. I am a keen environmentalist.
