Why I Love SA

The diversity in culture, and the unity. South Africa has a mix of cultures, but everyone can come together and sit around a braai and have a get-together around the fire. The people is the friendliest and you’ll always have a place to stay if you need someone or need to get somewhere.

I’ve wanted to be a marine biologist since age 9
