United States of Amazing!

In June of 2017, I set out on an adventure to be an au pair in the USA. I spent two years learning a new culture, different ways of living, becoming much more of an adult, making amazing memories and best of all was making lifelong friends , which is just awesome! This experience definitely had its ups and downs but overall it was amazing. I met fantastic people from all over the world. I mean I can literally say that I have a friend in almost every country of the world.

I took care of two boys who have become like little brothers to me and met families that have made me part of their own. My journey was filled with light. It was filled with hope and dreams. It was filled with opportunities and most importantly, it was filled with love.

I will be getting into more details of my travels and time in the USA further on in my blog. This journey has ignited my passion for travel and expressing who I am as an individual.

I'll travel more, take more pictures, create artworks and write more stories. I have more websites to come, for now just enjoy the ride.

Back Home, but not for long.

June 29th,2019. This is the date I landed back on home grounds and officially marked the end of my USA journey. I won't lie. The day I had to fly back, I was so depressed and hated the fact that I couldn't stay. I built myself a life here and finally became independent enough to take on the world and now I had to leave it all behind. I loved my life here. I had dark times but who doesn't. It wasn't till I walked through the Cape Town International Airport doors and saw my parents waiting for me that I realised how much I missed my family and how okay I actually was with being back home. As difficult as it was saying goodbye to my friends and leaving those kids behind after the bond we formed, I was ok with being at home. I hadn't seen my family in 2 years and that's hard.

I am home now. Right now and I've made the important decision to work on myself and my future. I am already planning on going back overseas. Maybe I'll go back to the states or maybe somewhere else like Europe or Asia. That's to be determined. For now I have this and I will continue to grow. As will you.
