I am a 22-year-old graduate of the University of Cape Town in South Africa. My majors are Politics and Philosophy, but I am a serial dabbler when it comes to new skills and subjects. Language is an area of particular fascination for me, as is the unpredictability and strangeness of travel. It is in new places among unfamiliar faces that I feel most engaged. I hope to share many tales of travel on this blog (pockets willing). I have always loved hearing the differing stories and perspectives of people from around the world. I intend to pursue a career as a writer and journalist, and am always searching for new techniques of expression through words.
