Activities i am interested in:

I am currently in South Africa, working, saving and planning my trip to South America in 2026. I want to have an authentic, local experience, learning about other cultures and helping wherever I can !

Description

I am passionate about people and the planet. I have an honours degree in environmental sciences which complimented my passions wonderfully. I have worked in the hospitality sector for 4 years and have worked as a surf instructor & I learnt so much from about myself and others during this time. I have dreamed of traveling since I was a little girl and I am so excited for my dream to finally come true ! I want to have authentic experiences where I fully immerse myself in other cultures, help wherever I can and get to know the locals ! I love to dance, do art, read, hike, swim, camping, film and photography, anything creative, learning, teaching, trying new foods and surfing 🌞
