Flashback April 2019:<\/strong> I fly to Zimbabwe, Bulawayo, to volunteer at a private game reserve in the western part of the country. It&#8217;s actually not so 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 these majestic falls soaked my clothes until the last layers. However, a wonderful experience to be this close to the mighty Zambezi river falling into the gorge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>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 volunteering program and received the chance of participating for a three-months period. I will surely learn more about horses, African culture and living in harmony with the nature.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2AECB219-32D4-4435-B44A-F53565B35F8E-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3915\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2AECB219-32D4-4435-B44A-F53565B35F8E-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/?attachment_id=3915\" class=\"wp-image-3915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2AECB219-32D4-4435-B44A-F53565B35F8E-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2AECB219-32D4-4435-B44A-F53565B35F8E-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2AECB219-32D4-4435-B44A-F53565B35F8E-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2AECB219-32D4-4435-B44A-F53565B35F8E-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2AECB219-32D4-4435-B44A-F53565B35F8E-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Horses in the Zimbabwean bush<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.) Flashback December 2020:<\/strong> Life will take you to 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 working for some time. This new journey starts a bit later than planned due to COVID-19 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<p><strong>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. <em>Welcome to my adventures!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/282D2EE0-95FD-4A43-9A29-9DE330636C31-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"108\" class=\"wp-image-108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/282D2EE0-95FD-4A43-9A29-9DE330636C31-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/282D2EE0-95FD-4A43-9A29-9DE330636C31-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/282D2EE0-95FD-4A43-9A29-9DE330636C31-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/282D2EE0-95FD-4A43-9A29-9DE330636C31-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Cape Town, South Africa<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m Janine: Half-French, half-German, I love traveling the globe, exploring new cultures and enjoying the wonders given by our nature.
