Wandering the Smithville Woods in the Fall - Adele van der Merwe

My name is Adele van der Merwe, and I moved to New Jersey from South Africa about 3 years ago. I am currently studying towards an Associate's degree in the field of Sound Recording and Engineering. I am also an ex-au pair and I still reside with my host family, which includes their 4 beautiful children. Music, film, art and literature are some of my greatest passions in life.
