Description

being raised in South Africa, my life have always revolved around the sweet simple things in life: the outdoors, music and friends.

I enjoy the company of others and of all animals, although im just as happy in solitude. this being said, im spontaneous and will never turn down the oppertunity to make memories :)

I am passionate about sharing my hobbies and interest with others and connecting with people through the things that i love. Working with kids and animals comes naturally to me !

More details about your skills

I am passionate about photography and am currently expanding my expirience with videography + underwater photography and videography.
I have good knowledge of social media - which combined with my photography skills allows me to be of aid in digital marketing if nessecary.

I will independently work and deal with the task at hand without the need of external motivation.
my parents owned multiple 4 star guesthouses across South africa where our family lived on the property. This means that i have been exposed to hospitality my whole life - which in return has given me great insight and first hand expirience in the hospitality feild. In the guesthouses I helped with variety of tasks such as :
-cleaning
-reception work
-helping with breakfast + dinner
-gardening + pool work.

I enjoy getting down and dirty and working with my hands. Some volunteer work i have under my belt include :

- I helped build a skatepark with other voulenteers for the less fortunate close to my hometown where we then taught kids to skate.
- I helped out at an animal shelter for dogs and in my hometown.

Hobbies of mine include :

- Surfing
- Skating
- snowbaording
- anything else you can think of on a board
- Making music with guitar aswell as the piano.
- Creative projects ( painting / sculpting / building )
- reading

Although i dont have a bachelors degree for skateboarding or surfing ;) I would be more than happy to share my knowledge on music or teach skating and surfing at an intermediate level.
