La Mestiza
"La Mestiza" is the female conjugate in Spanish for a person of mixed race. I call myself this, because, for me, the question, "Where do you com from?" is a loaded one. Born in South Africa, raised by a German mother and an African father of Dutch origin, and living in the US for the past 8 years...that's a tricky one to get around explaining. Nevertheless, "La Mestiza" is what I have come to calling myself the past three months I have interned at a hostel in Patagonia. Lured by the guests I worked with, I have finally embarked on my own journey of discovery. This blog will be my attempt at both sharing my experiences and clinging to my own sanity.
Please note that this blog is entirely subjective and I may get some facts wrong. Also, I am writing this blog with an adult audience in mind. So, unless you want to instill awesomeness in your kiddo, please use your good judgement before sharing my experiences with your five year old.
