Our favorite South Africa blogs:

From Africa, With Love
By Caroline: I’m an American from North Carolina, married to a South African I met in Scotland. And I love Jesus. That’s a lot of continents in one sentence, so if you’d like some more details, check out the backstory, here. I live in South Africa and work with a ministry called Samaritan’s Feet.

Story of Bing
By Bing: Hello, my name is Bing. I’m proudly Singaporean. Temporarily based in South Africa. The husband moves around for work, I’m just the one that tags along.

se7en
By Anon: We are a family of Se7en + 1 kids, we live in Fish Hoek, which is a beach town in Cape Town, South Africa. We homeschool and do lots of arts and crafts, and reading. We blog snapshots of our life that will hopefully provide some encouragement and ideas for families with young kids. I don’t blog about the nitty gritty daily grumbles, there are enough blogs about that, we try and keep our blog fun and positive and a bit of a haven to come to for some family fun inspiration.

Doughnut Orbitals
By Ryan: I have a bachelor's in chemistry from Reed College. I am a Peace Corps volunteer in South Africa. Note that the views expressed on this site are my own and in no way a statement of official Peace Corps or US government policy, or the view of any US official, living, dead or comatose.

Karen Kaye in South Africa
By Karen: Thanks so much for reading! I’m from Louisville, KY and currently live and work in rural South Africa serving the US Peace Corps. While I’m finding my life and work in South Africa more difficult and challenging than I had ever imagined, your thoughtful comments sustain me! Thanks for reading and for leaving such uplifting encouragements!

Funky Doodle Donkey
By Mireille: Global Nomad living in the 6th country and 4th continent. Traveling with twin girls and hubby around the globe.
Always on the look out for unique, groovy, sassy, swanky, hip, bright, bold and funky stuff that gives you the wiggles and giggles!
From there to here, from here to there, Funky things are everywhere!

Joburg Expat
By Sine: When it became clear that our family of six would have to relocate to Johannesburg, South Africa in 2010, I immediately knew that I would start a blog about our trials and tribulations. I’m hoping it will be useful for other expats, but I won’t claim to be an exhaustive source of information. I’m still figuring things out and I mainly write to entertain. What I love about writing is that whatever happens to you at the moment – particularly when things aren’t working out – always has potential for a great story.

A Home Away From Home
By Jenna: I'm a 24 year-old grad student born and raised in sunny southern California, but currently living in Johannesburg, South Africa. As you may imagine, I have a passion for travel, culture, food and all things international.

Keen On Cape Town
By Adrian: A young professional's look at the mother city.
