Sawubona!

Last Update: May 31, 2012
Sawubona from South Africa! I've just discovered WA - after spending far too much on other programs. I'm an American expat who has been living in South Africa, with my British husband, for the past 17 years. How time flies! It seems only yesterday we arrived in this distant land that was still euphoric over the end of apartheid and basking in the glory of the first successful democratic election that spirited Nelson Mandela into the office of President of the Republic of South Africa. Things are a little different now, however. Mr. Mandela will turn 94 in July and has just retired to his boyhood homeland. His successors have not come anywhere close to being able to fill his shoes, and the climate in the country is rather 'edgy.' There are so many stories to tell and experiences to share. My goal is to create an internet business that somehow ties in with my life here in South Africa. I have a lot of learning and exploring to do before that gels and takes shape, but I'm looking forward to the journey!

Welcome, I like that idea of building something that ties in with your life. Plus one of my favorite surfers (Jordy Smith) is from South Africa.
