Overview
About Me
I grew up in Durban, South Africa and attended Kearsney College and then furthered my studying at Stellenbosch University where I completed my undergrad in Finance and Investments then specialised my honours in Finance.
2017: I plan to travel and meet as many new people as possible while learning about new cultures and sharing new stories as far and as wide across the globe as possible.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As a recent graduate, money is an issue, especially with the Rand/Dollar exchange rate. I hope to be hosted by families who will treat me the way that I would treat a visitor needing a place to sleep in South Africa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Going on international exchange during secondary school to Surrey, England was a mind blowing experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to teach others the truth about the South African culture, earn about the cultures of other countries and share related memories and moments.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories about South Africa, growing up and being born in 1994, post the Apartheid era. I have a strong passion investing, finance and am fortunate enough to have travelled to a few countries on family holidays along with my parents and 3 siblings. Being the youngest of 4 children, I have many stories to tell!
