When I first set foot in South Africa 25 years ago, it felt as if my heart had found its true home.
At the time, I was working as a flight attendant for Lufthansa, and my very first long-haul flight brought me straight to South Africa 🇿🇦.
What began as a professional assignment quickly turned into a deep soul connection.
Right away, I felt it: something here was different.
It wasn’t just the breathtaking nature or the golden light that bathes everything in warmth – it was the people.
Their laughter comes from the heart. Their openness is deeply touching. Their joy for life is contagious ❤️.
That sense of true humanity and raw life energy enchanted me instantly – and has never let go.
Over 25 years, I kept coming back – time and again. I packed my bags countless times, always returning not just as a visitor, but never really feeling like a stranger.
Eventually, it became clear:
I didn’t need to keep coming back – I was meant to stay.
Today, I spend most of the year in Cape Town – a city that is so much more than a place.
It’s a feeling. A rhythm. A glow🌟.
That magical light has long attracted world-renowned photographers from around the globe.
I adore the beaches of Clifton – powdery white sand, giant granite boulders reminiscent of the Seychelles, and all of it right in the heart of the city.
It’s nothing short of magic 🌟.
Cape Town has an energy that’s impossible to resist.
Even just watching the people go about their day lifts your spirits.
The abundance of cozy cafés ☕ and world-class restaurants is incredible – and it’s all wrapped in a natural beauty you’d expect to see only on postcards.
What makes this place so special, so deeply livable?
It’s the unique blend of warmth, vibrancy, and diversity that makes each day extraordinary:

That’s a question I hear all the time – and my answer is a clear and confident YES.
In fact, I feel safer in South Africa than in some major European cities.
Of course, as anywhere in the world, it’s important to know where you’re going and how to move smartly.
South Africa touched my 💜 many years ago – and it never let go.
