Nicole Sochen
My friend Nicole was one of the people who graciously welcomed me into Cape Town’s social scene. When I jumped at the chance to participate in the first Afrikaburn, a Burning Man event in South Africa (having bought an early-bird ticket for just myself), she and her boyfriend at the time (Richie), kindly invited me to join them as members of the inaugural BurningMail camp. It was an unforgettable time of frolicking and fun, meeting great people, and embracing all that the experience had to offer. With an encouraging smile and a zest for adventure, Nicole is one of the founding members of the ‘Skanky Hos', a wonderful mix of ladies who are a dangerous combination of beauty, brains and Bacchanalian propensities. A Sea Point girl with a load of sass and sex appeal, Nicole is the full package.
