An Elephant in my Suitcase
I am a child of Africa, born in Zimbabwe and grew up on a beautiful tobacco and cattle farm. I’ve moved countless times and do not really know where I want to put down my forever roots.
My stories are short spurts of adventures through life all over, how and where I travel, funny happenings and the harsh reality of depression who most of us have met.
You are here to escape the humdrum of life and boring chores in small bites, between hanging the washing and going to the next office meeting.
You’ll discover I am cautious though adventurous. An extroverted introvert. And, just like you, hungry to discover new things, the why of the way we feel, new cultures and countries – and hey, ho – everyday life through fresh eyes.
My packing advice is to take your passport, medical kit, credit card .. and your smile.
Are you misunderstood, confused, lost and lonely
Are our brains like Gearboxes – made of different substances, with cogs and teeth missing here and there?Some are perfect and the best of the best. Some don’t quite fit. Who of us are misunderstood and struggle to find our way, becoming lost and lonely? Maybe most of us actually feel like a palm trees in a tornado.
What habits make you mad?
Maddening bad habits thread through my story,
some are irritating, others grossly gory.
Come have a laugh,
between eating lunch and managing your staff.
