I’m new to couch surfing and in Europe on vacation! I love everything fun from hiking to partying, to chilling and listening to music. I would love to share music and learn about your views on life. I will be very happy for you to share your hobbies and interests with me. I can cook up a storm! I love to cook for my friends and family. I would be very happy to share my love of food with you.

Just a girl's girl looking to meet new people and show them around. I spend all my time at work, home or the gym. So I'm looking for new friends.

Johannesburg is beautiful and quite safe if you choose the right areas to stay and hang around. A lot of travellers are afraid of traveling to South Africa because of the high crime rate in the city but from my experience it all depends on the areas. I would highly recommend staying Sandton or areas close for safety and general aesthetic. Sandton is relatively more expensive than other areas but it's worth it!
Posted: September 21, 2024Experienced: July, 2022I advise against travelling to Johannesburg alone - it's best to get around the city with locals. Ubers are safe, but avoid walking around the city alone.
