This is the Life

I am, for the first time in my adult life on a real, true and proper vacation. I usually go to Seattle or LA or someplace in the US to visit friends and family when I have time off. Always interwoven with some sort of networking or “things” to handle. But this time around, I knew I needed something grander. So I booked a ticket to South Africa to meet up with some friends who would be here for the holidays.
While this vacation is not quite the safari filled extravaganza most would take when visiting the motherland, it in an amazing experience. I’ve been hanging with the locals, visiting their haunts, learning about their daily lives, their personal histories and how it is shaped by the history of their country.
