From South Africa, currently living in Seoul, South Korea; currently travelling through Asia. I'm utterly curious about the world and its inhabitants, anxious to learn about its people, food and cultures. I'm often considered as friendly and easy-going as I am very open to new experiences. My enthusiasm and highly optimistic nature makes me excited when faced with whatever situation I am faced with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To submerge myself into the true and authentic experiences of places, within its cultures, with its people. Hoping to learn from, as well as to teach and share my life experiences with my hosts.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Pretty open to all genres, however, Sundays call for chilled out lounge beats

Movies: The classics, anything car and speed related, often a sucker for some good ol' romance

Books: Shantaram, Like Water for Chocolate, and anything that keeps me gripped to the corner of the pages
