Anonymous asked: Did you enjoy South Africa? happy to be home? :)
I fell in love with South Africa; it’s such a diverse, complicated and amazing country. I do love Australia, but SA showed me a vibrant and daring way of living that makes Aus look almost bland in comparison.
I am happy to be home. I did miss my family & friends. And I missed things I used to take for granted, like being able to drive my car whenever I wanted. But I was undertaking such highly demanding and highly emotional work that after four days of being back in Australia I’m finding myself bored and impatient. When you’ve been working with refugees and jailed kids, people that whinge about trivial things like boys piss you off. Politicians spending too much money on escorts piss you off. The prospect of meaningless admin work five days a week for the next five months seems stifling. Every day in SA was an adrenaline rush & I don’t experience anything like that here.
