So you made it to the bottom! Cheers to you and your commitment!

So many years ago we were 2 bright eyed drama students in a tiny town in South Africa. Both of us had the drive to adventure the world but we lacked the means. We did the best we could around our own country but it never properly cured the wanderlust.
