"International citizen of the world" africaking's Profile
Hello to one and all
Firstly, let me thank you for visiting my page and hope that you may find something useful within.
Now, about me......I was born in Cape Town, South Africa and lived in Cape Town and Jo'burg till I was 10. My parents decided in 1990 that life in South Africa was not going to offer me opportunities, nor them, so we emigrated to the United Kingdom.
We lived in Kent for about a year or so, then moved to Manchester, where I spent my high school days and a year at college. Again, my parents got itchy feet and thought that my education had reached an end, thus thinking it was time to try something new.
My parents sold the house, bought a yacht and we all moved to Lancaster to fix up the yacht to sail her around the world.
To cut a very long involved story short, we ended up spending six months in Ramsay, Isle of Mann, a year in Dublin, Ireland. where I left my parents and went to Bromley in Kent, UK. I had spent a summer there, working on Harley Street in central London and got bored, so met my parents in Cornwall.
We spent a further year in Cornwall doing up the yacht, again and working to save money and I did another year at a local college. After my courses ended, I went to visit a friend in Spain and promptly got offered a job as a holiday rep. So I spent the next 2 years working in Costa Brava and Costa Dorada in Spain, Southern France and Ca'Savio (near Venice) in Italy.
After working for next to nothing, travelling from site to site, suffering from tornado damage, time came for me to return to Cornwall to set sail with my folks.
