This city has something of everything, every other day I get surprised by something new. The buildings are bold and full of colour. Sometimes they are even accessorized with a VW bus! Even the Starbucks around the corner has a bright character and looks out on a park where people take their dogs for aContinue reading “#limalife”

A place of my own
I finally moved into my own place, a massive apartment in the seaside suburb of Miraflores in Lima. On my first night I went for a walkabout, to get a feel for the area, and get some supplies. At first I walked down to the beach. The idea was to watch the sunset, but toContinue reading “A place of my own”
A little more Lima
Lima is a city of contrasts and wonder. Another week has gone by and I feel like I am starting to see more sides of the city. It has everything from glass buildings to unfinished brick and concrete structures, and in between houses that speak of another era all together. One thing it has aContinue reading “A little more Lima”
Lima – first impressions
I tried my first surfing lesson on Saturday, it was quite fun, although the beach consists of rocks and the “shop” is basically a 3×3 m canopy, so it is a bit of an adjustment. Everyone says there aren’t any sharks, but my question is “what are the sharks scared of, perhaps I should beContinue reading “Lima – first impressions”
Nuwe dinge
Vandag vertrek ek op ‘n nuwe avontuur. Meer detail sal later volg….
‘n Storie in ‘n paar skoene
Ek is vreeslik lief vir skoene, al dra ek nie regtig stilettos nie. Ek het gister ‘n nuwe paar skoene ontvang wat ek gekoop het, “one of a kind”, handgemaakte, plat skoene. Ek het ook deur ons hele kantoor geloop en vir al my vriendinne gaan wys hoe oulik is my skoene. Jare gelede hetContinue reading “‘n Storie in ‘n paar skoene”
Vier Voet Verwelkomingskommitee
My gunsteling deel van ‘n lang dag by die werk is as ek by die huis kom en die garage deur oopmaak. Dan kom daar ‘n gevaarte om die hoek soos ‘n renjaer wat ‘n handbriek draai uitvoer, en Charlie kom staan in die oprit en wag om in te klim en saam met myContinue reading “Vier Voet Verwelkomingskommitee”
Lanzerac
Soms raak mens so besig met al die dinge wat aangaan in die lewe, dat mens vergeet om bietjie na jouself te kyk. Gelukkig het my liewe ma ‘n plan beraam en gereel dat ek saam met my skoonsus vir ‘n bederf dag gaan in die middel van my rondhardloop lewe. Sondag oggend ry ekContinue reading “Lanzerac”
Laaste dag in die States
Ons laaste dag in die States en ek besluit om die toer te skip om eerder nog ‘n dag in New York City te wees. Ek en die Girls wat ook so besluit het vang ‘n trein na Penn stasie met al ons bagasie. Ons eerste stop is die Shake Shack in 8th Ave. VanContinue reading “Laaste dag in die States”
Boston en terug
In ‘n bibber koue oggend van Boston stop ons 7:45 by die Quincy Market en word vertel ons gaan daar bymekaar kom na “lunch” oftewel 11:30. Dis so koud en alles anders maak eers 10 uur oop, so ons kry toe maar ‘n Breakfast en ‘n koppie warm tee en bekyk die plekke rondom dieContinue reading “Boston en terug”
