After having grown up in South Africa I moved to the country side of sw France near Saint Emillion where I have been living the past 10 years. Here I own a restaurant/bar/guesthouse and where I have my art studio. The past 4 years I have been focusing on my art. I live with my two cats and two Border Colis and friends that occasionally needs a place to stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My art takes a lot of my time, so travel is a rare occasion for me. Id like to have the local experience and prefer having honest and effective advice at hand, where hotels, besides being over priced, sometimes lack in this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having had a solo exhibition at the Institut of art of Bernard Magrez.

Teach, Learn, Share

The past year Ive been doing art workshops with refugee children of Syria and members of society that has been institutionalised... my sister captioned my work as "touch the world and allow the world to touch you". Learning, sharing, and teaching are the building blocks of a healthy functional society.
