Cape Town

Where to start when there is so much to say! Being born outside of the Cape sure gave me a love for all things Capetownian!

Traveling forms an integral part of my being as I believe that meeting new people and cultures gives you the opportunity to develop necessary people skills and enjoy life to the fullest!


Most people carry their hearts on their sleeves... `Well, I carry my family on my sleeve. Not only are they my constant source of love and support but most importantly- they are my best friends (yes- that's how lucky I am.....)

As a professional, I am constantly seeking to increase my level of skills. Having attended workshops and various coaching courses as well as being part of an exchange program, I have taken a renewed personal interest in the development of learners/people.

Sporting and cultural activities form an integral part of my life and I have come to realize how these activities not only enrich my life, but more important, also enables me to interact with people on a more personal and effective basis not directly connected to an academic atmosphere.


Living and studying in Cape Town has allowed me to grow as a person- and most importantly, as a South African. This city can only be described as a melting pot of events, people and cultures. Ever heard of an "African experience..." This is the best place to come and experience everything this country has to offer!


So read about me, like me and love me! And hey- if there is anything you would like to add, follow me or let me know what I'm missing.... until then, read on people...
