Hello from South Africa

The Cape!

Good morning from Storms River, Western Cape, South Africa. Boy, do I have some stories for you all. But of course, those will be found in story time, later.

I've been settling here pretty well and yesterday marked two weeks that I've been here (time flies). I spent my first week in Johannesburg after a pretty horrible travel experience. In that time, I was invited by another traveler to join her for am 11 day road trip up the coast of SA from Cape Town back to Joburg, and that's where I am now. Because we only have 11 days we're moving super fast with adventure filled days and it's been pretty freaking awesome. Once I settle again for a day or two I will update you all on my first 3 weeks in Africa.

On a more serious note.

A while back I decide to start keeping notes on my experiences and thoughts about my identities while abroad and how they compare to what I've thought or experienced at home. Since then, I've been asked by many others looking to apply for Bonderman as well as staff to chime in on identities abroad. This has turned into a pretty lengthy and multifaceted project and I will begin making smaller posts from it after I update. So look out for that.

In closing, I have nothing else to say :)

Hope you all have a beautiful day.
