Before completing my Consumer Sciences degree at UNISA, I was studying towards a Dramatics Arts and Music theory Degree at the university of the Witwatersrand. I may have not finished but it certainly was a 1st love at the time. I had a growing career as a singer/ song writer in Johannesburg and i was also in a singing group called, "The Nameless Band".
I love most outdoor activities (excluding hiking), so if you're up for an adventure, im generally the 1st to say "Lets do it".
If I could travel the world, stay in incredible places with interesting accomodations that tingle all senses , while filming and talking about my experiences and interviewing the locals as a job, I would do that. I love meeting new people, tasting different foods, immersing myself in the country im in. I have not traveled nearly enough, but I plan on changing that.
Lastly, I have a puppy, his name is Rover and he is the naughtiest, cutest shoe eating new baby of mine that gives me a headache at least twice a day but i love him.
