What a Year...

A little over a year has past since I moved to Brooklyn and my oh my so much has happened.

When putting together this post I had to think of the places I had visited, the people I had met, the lessons I had learned and the memories I have made that will be cherished forever.

Firstly, unrelated to aupairing but the graduating from Wits University was a really amazing moment in my life and being able to travel back to South Africa and experience it with my fellow Witsies was a moment that will not be forgotten soon.

Secondly, The number of places that I have seen, experienced and fallen in love with is crazy to me. I have travelled to:
