Soon enough this 24 year old Canadian will be moving her life to a new country, South Africa.
While currently enduring as patiently as possible the never ending opinions and frightened looks as I tell those around me that I will be moving to Johannesburg, I have decided to do what it is that I feel like I need to do, and that's go.
I can't help but feel that many are judging me, thinking I am following someone elses dreams other than my own, but the truth is, I am following my dreams.
Always up for an adventure, always up for something outside of the norm...this next phase of my life is somehow what I always knew I would do.
I've decided to keep an online blog to post my personal opinions and feelings about the current social state of South Africa and all of it's dynamics in living in a place like Johannesburg. I want to be brutally honest, truthful and raw. I won't tell any family or friends about this blog as I don't want it to turn into one of those cheesy "I did this today..." blogs, or scare anyone close to me.
This blog may be conceived as ignorant or informative, regardless, I feel the need to offer a second opinion to the many with pre-conceived notions towards a country that most have never visited. With so many immigrants from South Africa in North America, it's hard not to make a judgement on a place that you have only "heard" so much about.
We will see, I still have some time now to finish up this degree, pack my bags and finally get on the plane in June. So, please read my blogs in the near future, that is, if it at all interests you,
