Sasha Erasmus

I am a South African citizen who was bitten by the travel bug about 12 years ago. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I grew up on a small island in Mozambique, but attended school and then University in South Africa so was always travelling back and forth between the two... or maybe I simply have itchy feet!;) I moved to a kibbutz in Israel when I was 18, then travelled to South America when I finished my first degree (Social Work). There, I taught English in Ecuador, helped translate documents in a company in Chile, volunteered in Bolivia, and also travelled around Peru and Argentina. I then moved back to Mozambique where I co-founded and helped run the Tilizinwe Bazaruto community project for two years, the main aim of which is to educate the local community with regards to marine conservation. The itchy feet struck again though, and I set off for Thailand in the beginning of 2015 where I taught for a year, then moved to teaching in Myanmar, and then Taiwan. I didn't travel Asia nearly as extensively as I would have liked to, but managed to spend a little time in Laos, Malaysia, and the Phillipines. I recently returned to South Africa to complete my Masters in Psychology... I am passionate about health and wellness (physical, emotional and spiritual), and intend to incorporate that passion into my future work in Psychology.
