I\u2019m Janine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Half-French, half-German<\/b>, I love traveling the globe, exploring new cultures and enjoying the wonders given by our nature. Especially the African continent has my heart and I am mesmerized by its magical beauty. No wonder I have a deep passion for Southern Africa, its wilderness, wildlife and landscapes.  An astonishingly divers region enriched by breathtaking landscapes, prolific wildlife and ancient culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from Germany<\/b>, my heart wanders the world and admires the African continent. I dream about the African savannah, its vastness, its natural richness and its beauty. Southern Africa is Africa at its very best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T<\/b><\/span>hat is why I make my dreams come true: <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Flashback April 2019:<\/strong> I flew to Zimbabwe, Bulawayo, to volunteer at a private game reserve in the western part of the country. It’s not far from the largest, most beautiful and just the greatest waterfall in the world that I was attracted to during a vacation in the past. Of course it soaked my clothes until the last layers. However, a wonderful experience to be this close to the mighty Zambezi river falling into the gorge. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fabulous country<\/strong> raised a passion and curiosity within myself, leading to a fantastic research of opportunities how I could interact and actively participate within these wonders. Finally, I found this great possibility of equine program and received the chance to help curing horses and stay at a reserve for a three-months period. At MARES<\/a> I tried to cure a little foal while at Cawston Wildlife Estate<\/a> I interacted with horses and other wildlife. Surely, I learned a lot about wildlife, African culture and living in harmony with nature.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Flashback December 2020:<\/strong> Life will take you where you want if you dare to dream your dreams! I am lucky enough to have found a job in Mother City, Cape Town where I will be living for some time. This new journey starts a bit later than planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic but it won\u2019t make it any less adventurous at all. My Cape Town holiday back in 2018 showed me that this beautiful city is a place I want to call my home. The stunning sunsets, the fabulous vineyards and all the magnificent hiking trails are just waiting for me to be explored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa got my heart<\/strong> and didn\u2019t let me down when I was looking for opportunities. Finally, I signed my contract, patiently waited for COVID to make the plans for me and booked my flight to move to the African continent in the midst of a pandemic to enjoy my first Christmas under the African hot sun. Welcome to my adventures!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
