I'm fun loving, honest, very caring and I love showing people around my city. I'm a people's person. Super friendly. I was fortunate enough to have traveled. I loved Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Argentina and Uruguay. My ultimate favourite hobby is food. I love cooking and showing people the hidden gems of the city. I'm more about the true authentic experience that you will have, I'm not just a guide. I've got real family stories that got passed on from my 96 yr old grandma. You will have an Authentic coloured person of Cape Town. If you want the Authentic Cape Town experience with stories of the past during apartheid days being told by locals, and some of the usual stuff, then I'm the person for you. You will definitely be back for more.
