Overview
About Me
I'm an adventurous, easy-going and inquisitive human with a growing desire to travel and explore what the world has to offer. I am curious and open-minded, and am looking to push the boundaries of my comfort zones. I am a creative, and currently work as graphic designer and promo director for a small agency in Joburg.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to meet new people, explore new places and hopefully gain some new perspectives on life that staying in one place doesn't give you.

Music, Movies, and Books
I have a very broad taste in music - anything from 70s rock to modern day hip hop, with some indie, alternative, and karaoke classics in between.
In terms of movies, I love psychological thrillers, or any mind-bending, weird, artsy films. Also nothing better than a chilled Sunday evening watching Disney classics.
It's tough to name my favourite books, but my all time favourites have to be the Harry Potter series, Shantaram, The Historian, The Good Body, Tuesdays with Morrie, and always love to delve into philosophical non-fiction.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Scuba diving with a Zambezi shark, hammerhead sharks, snorkelling with whale sharks, an eagle ray and dolphins. I love sharks in case you couldn't tell :) Bucket list is to dive Protea Banks along the South African coast - known for tons of sharks!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am an skilled graphic designer, script writer and promo director, and am always willing to share my skills wherever I can.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am always up for an adventure and will happily try new things. That being said, I love chilled nights on the couch with good conversation, wine and music. I would be happy to give basic crash courses in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and After Effects.
