My expat journey




Spain

Cardiff, Wales
I studied to become a post-compulsory tutor and taught young adults with mild to moderate special educational needs. I loved this job so much.
Tutor/teacher
I made some wonderful friends in Wales, who I know will be friends for ever. I love the greenery wherever I look.
The weather!! So grey.

Cape Town, South Africa
I was born here, went to school here, married here and had my children here.
Only once I left this amazing place, did I realise how lucky I had been to grow up here. My heart will always be in this wonderful city.
Leaving it!! The crime rate in S.A. is always a concern.
