Joburg Expat
Author
I’m Sine, also known as Joburg Expat, and have been living in Johannesburg with my family of six, including two teenagers, since 2010. Our home base is the United States, but we've also lived in Germany and Singapore. I love Africa, the weather, going on safari, and blogging. I haven’t been hijacked yet, have no idea when exactly “just now” is, and consider myself the resident expert on "This is Africa" moments, which I happily share on my blog. Come visit!
