Description

"The world is your oyster." - William Shakespeare

This is one of my favourite quotes; it ultimately motivates me to step out of my comfort zone and explore new things as the opportunity comes my way. People, culture, language, nature and food is my main source of dopamine and adrenaline, but adventure is the key!

I am definitely an adventurer by nature. Among my friends and other loved ones I am seen as quite the free-spirit, not because I am brave or courageous, but rather because I do not let fear of the unknown limit me. I believe it is good to discover new things, to never keep yourself in your comfort zone, and to never be content with the amount of knowledge or experience you have. The world is your oyster, so go and discover what this means in every area of your life! Travelling helps me to know myself, my strengths and weaknesses, my hopes and dreams, my passions and to ultimately find and connect with my type of humans.

I am a sun-child, flower-child, ocean-child and wind-child. I love the beautiful creation and I believe in its Creator. The busy cities can drain me, but I am a people person as well, so I do not avoid exploring the busy city and cultures. I want to discover everything, from nature to city. Happiness is a choice, joy can only be found internally, and life has meaning just as much as you give it meaning. Life doesn't always work out the way we want it to, and life isn't always easy because challenges will come, but know where your strength is found, and enjoy the roller coaster ride.

I studied Tourism and worked in the Hospitality industry for three years while completing my teaching degree in English and Social Sciences. I am currently completing my Honours Degree in Biblical Archaeology.

South Africans are loads of fun and very unique, because we have such a variety of people and culture in our country which makes me super adaptable to other cultures. I will gladly introduce our music, dances, languages and foods to my future travel hosts and friends.

Bon Voyage!

More details about your skills

I am a born teacher (qualified too), thus I can teach English and Afrikaans to the world. I love History and Archaeology as well and I will gladly pass on the knowledge that I do possess in those subject areas. The earth and its ground fascinates me, and the way people live (ancient and current) fascinates me as well. I believing in working hard and giving my best in everything that I do, I love working with people and animals, especially if it allows me to be outside and do something exciting. I enjoy being intellectually challenged. I also studied Tourism and I managed a four-star Guesthouse for 3 years, thus I have hotel management and catering skills as well as good service/social skills. I have traveled quite a bit, alone, I am adaptable and street wise. I have a lot of sporting/active skills, I can teach people how to skateboard, surf, hike etc. and just ultimately to enjoy life with a positive outlook.
