I’ve just moved to Cape Town after 20 years in the U.K. Best decision ever. Am loving being back home. The grass is not greener in Europe.

Safety is a basic human right - you don’t how much you need it until you have it 24/7

I miss my South Africa every day. But no way I could survive and give my kids the life they have in Aus on a teacher’s salary back home.

We moved to NZ in 2019. Best decision we ever made. Remember the grass is green where you water it 😊

That line hits deep. 🤍 “Maybe in another life, we don’t have to leave home for a better future” carries a lot of longing—love for home, pain of separation, and the hope that things could be different. It speaks to how unfair it feels that growth often demands distance: leaving family, familiar streets, comfort, and identity just to survive or succeed. It’s not a lack of love for home—it’s the opposite. You leave because you love it and want something better. And maybe… in another life, opportunity finds us where we’re rooted, not where we run to. 🌍 For now, carrying home in your heart is sometimes the bravest thing you can do.

Oef, I felt this! Side note: I think it’s important that we don’t bash SA as expats though cause it’s easy to get caught up in that🥲🙏🇿🇦
