The girls suntan while the boys play touch rugby. I love the cool summer breeze on a hot day while drinking afternoon cocktails. I love the braai's we have at my best friend Megan's house. I also love it when I come home after a night out and I can smell the 'braai' that my family had that afternoon. I love falling asleep in the sunshine on a chilly winter afternoon. I love the rainy days you can spend at home watching DVD's. I just love it. There is no place on earth like South Africa. It is truly unique and here I sit in miserable Scotland, wondering why I gave up my wonderful life. Nothing can stop me from wanting to be in South Africa and I promise, I will come home. xoxo I love waking up early on a Sunday morning to go and spend the day at the beach with friends.

At the end of 2004, I got the travel bug and packed my bags to explore other countries. Every day that I am on foreign soil I think of what makes SA awesome. Culture overload, food and music, wildlife and diverse climates, history, tradition, survival, local is lekker, meilies, braais and biltong. More than anything, the People who depict togetherness unlike any other country in a global context where war and racial hatered is the easiest route. South Africa defines me, the place from which i interpret the world and other people. I love South Africa because it has Soul and her soul is imbedded in mine, or perhaps mine is imbedded in SA. I love South Africa because she is within me.
