Teach, Learn, Share

to share: STORIES (we love stories) - South African food and the preparing thereof - travelling in South Africa - local music.

please just realise, we are very laidback people who are relaxed and not into very noisy places and party, party, party. we prefer conversation and laughs.

and we are also quite lazy, and not always the keenest to be going everywhere doing things all the time.
