Surf Life Saver Profile - 34

Welcome Sanet and thanks for sharing with us

 

So let’s get deep and meaningful straight up

Q – How long have you been in Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and what motivated you to volunteer your time?

I feel like I’ve always been there.

However, it has only been a few years and I ask myself, why didn’t I join earlier.

I don’t think I have ever met a group of people that are so caring, giving and genuine. I feel privileged to be part of the club.

 

Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?

Way better!

Our own beach house with ping-pong tables and a coffee machine.

 

On a lighter side

Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up)

I grew up in South Africa, in a big city called Port Elizabeth.

Growing up was the opposite of life in Coolum Beach.

I had very little or no contact with beach life or swimming.

 

Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?

Definitely being a mum

No-one really knows how to go about it. You base it on a combined version of your own upbringing and your partners. It is a roller coaster of rides of highs and lows. And your remuneration comes in the shape of a hug or smile, which is worth more than any amount of money

 

Q – Any nicknames?

 

Q – Any Hobbies?

Too many hobbies. My most favourite is yoga.

I love teaching and I love yoga – an awesome combination.

I also love walking. Especially if bushwalking. There I a sense f freedom in taking a backpack and just going for a walk.

 

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

Tina Turner! What a legend!

Simply the best 😉

 

Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?

I love spending time in the kitchen. Baking is like therapy. (Except I stopped when it became harder to lose weight)

I cook mostly the same dishes, Mulligatwny, spicy Indian soup, Dhal.

You cannot beat lentil soup. Delicious and cheap.

Also one of my all time favourites; Thai pumpkin soup and of course, Bobotie South African spicy sweet mince pie.

 

Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??

NO!

….Pumpkin, yes!
