Mamma Afrika




Hello - - or should I say "Hallo", "Sanibonani", "Bhota", "Dumela" or "Avuxeni"!
There are 11 official languages in South Africa which is a true testament to its diverse culture that South Africa prides itself on. As all of you already know, I am leaving to experience first hand what this country has to offer. When I talk to people about South Africa, I am met with such positive responses. These conversations make me excited each day to see for myself what some have shared as "The most beautiful place on Earth", "Amazing", "A once in a lifetime experience" and my personal favorite "Mamma Afrika".
My goal while I am there is to learn as much as I can about the country, the people and maybe along the way a little bit about myself as well. To help me track this journey, I set up a blogspot to record some of my experiences while I am there and many of you have asked to view this blog. So here it is.. enjoy!
