Description
I am fun loving, laid back and easy going girl from South Africa who moved to London in 2014 because I wanted to see the world. I'm the spontaneous one who is always down for a good time, unless it's cold , then I hide at home under my blankets. (Grew up in Durban) Although I have learnt that with the right clothes, winter isn't so bad. I also love animals, especially cats.

More details about your skills
I am a qualified commercial Pilot but life has always led me elsewhere. When I lived in London between 2014-2015 I worked at reception in a 700 bed hostel, checking in and out guests, giving them advise on all the hidden gems to discover, answering emails, making beds and managing bookings. I also worked a bar job when I was in London and throughout my 4 years of studying in South Africa. In November 2015 I quit my hostel job and backpacked, hitchhiked and volunteered my way around Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay for about 6 months. It was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I had the joy of volunteering on two permaculture farms when I was in Chile and the love, peace and harmony I felt there has been such a guiding light in my life. Since then I’ve worked in a fishing village in Scotland to save to travel and volunteer on a 9 month journey across the USA and Canada. Then I spent the next 2 years working and travelling around Australia. I am now back home in Durban and ready to explore my home country a bit more. I am hard working, fast learning and I always have a smile on my face.
