I'm just amazed at the life you've lived. South Africa is very far from me, but seems like a fascinating country.
I'm very happy I met you. I'm grateful for the people I continue to meet on Hive. I don't use any other social media, so this is my only digital connection to the outside world. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I love to research, write and read (in no particular order!) and am looking forward to being part of this community for a long time, to learn and grow from the experience, connect with a diverse range of people and make new friends.
This paragraph describes what I've come to really value here. The rewards are great when they come. But making that the only reason really sours ones experience here. I just hope I continue to meet people like you. Take care.
Aw, thanks for reading my intro post... feels like a long time ago although it was only last year. Life in SA certainly was interesting... in a lot of ways, it will always be home to me, as I grew up there... but it is a juxtaposition of beauty and horror, joy and fear. My hubby and I started our own family here in the UK and this is now the place we call home. I've been to California twice this year to visit friends, and have another trip planned for the latter half of next year. The flight time from London to LA is similar to that from London to Durban, about 11 -11.5 hours. Although last time I flew into Phoenix and then onward to a regional airport and the delays both to and from London were horrendous, turning a 16 hour journey into a 29 and 40 hour journey respectively. In future, I fly direct into LA hahaha.
Glad I ran into you too! Take care and catch you soon...
