Geo: -33.9366, 25.5709March was a pretty adventurous month in the life of the Unicorn Princess, I experienced some snow and an American St Paddies day which turned into a very disorderly one. I also decided to surprise my dad for his 50th birthday by going home for a week which was definitely worth it after seeing his reaction. I cannot believe I have been here for almost half a year, it feels as though time is flying by way too quickly and I am trying to remember all that has happened and trying to catch my breath at the same time. I left to go back to South Africa on March the 24th as my mother thought that it would be a good idea to reunite the family for dads big 50 and I had other ... read more

Geo: 38.485, -78.6253I have finally hit the three month mark in the USA and I still have no intention of leaving anytime soon. The last few weeks have been challenging to say the least but the adventures every weekend seem to make it really worth while. Every weekend we have tried to see a new place and as far as saving is concerned, lets just say that I'm rich with experience that you cannot put monetary value on.I have been hanging around Ritanas side of Alexandria as I am quite fond of the people there and I enjoy how we can throw ideas together and go with them.

Geo: 40.7528, -73.9853Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you wonderful people keeping up with my journey. Christmas in America was an incredible one, I got really spoiled and had an awesome, not-so-sober dinner with my amazing host family and their loved ones and they honestly went out of their way to make me feel part of the family. They included Ritana into the Christmas celebrations and after lots off eggnog, wine and laughter, I would definitely put this Christmas in my top 10 most memorable ones yet.The last few weeks have been incredibly busy! I have been to the coolest indoor water park called Great Wolf Lodge, in Williamsburg, Virginia and it was great to swim and inhale all that chlorine.Friday, December 30th, the girls and I set off on an adventure to the ... read more

Geo: 42.3585, -71.0596I know I have been really quiet over the last 3 weeks but things have become very busy. Americans take the festive season very seriously and the madness comes along with all the festivities. I spent my first ever American Thanksgiving in Boston and all I can say is that I've never seen so much food in one sitting than I did that day! My host family and their family went out of their way to make vegetarian food for me. One of my favourite dishes was the Pumpkin Pie- a famous American tart served with vanilla ice-cream. The weather was cold and wet but Boston is a really pretty place, I would definitely go back during the summer months but I would give winter a skip as the sun goes down at 4pm ... read more
