Tell us a bit about yourself... this information will appear on your page.
I was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on June 2, 1970, and emigrated from there to the US in March, 1983 with my parents and 2 sisters.
On June 9, 1979, however, my family embarked on an adventure that changed my world--we took a 7-week trip to England, the US, Canada, and Germany. I was fascinated by the way people lived in other places. I enjoyed new taste sensations(humbugs and Dr Pepper) and sights beyond my imaginings (fireworks on the 4th of July, that field of roses in Germany). I still love to travel and I am still fascinated by cultures other than my own.
It with great delight that I prepare to embark on another journey--a 4-week trip with my husband, Ross, and our 8 year-old son, Owen, to South Africa, the land of my birth. We have told Owen, since he was tiny, that one day we would take him to South Africa to see where I grew up. We will travel via Spain (Madrid), and hope that this vacation will awake in Owen, the same love of new and exciting places that my "maiden voyage" in 1979 awoke in me.
I invite you to travel along with us if you wish!
