In this week-in-my-life vlog, I’m taking you along as I settle back into life in South Africa after spending two years in Japan. It’s one of those videos that’s less about “perfect” aesthetics and more about the real emotional whiplash of being back home—getting used to the pace, the familiar places, and the little everyday moments that hit differently when you’ve been away for a long time. It’s also my first Mother’s Day, which made the whole week feel extra meaningful and a bit tender. I share what that day looked like for me and how it felt stepping into motherhood while navigating all the changes that come with moving between countries. And then we’re off again—flying back to Cape Town—so you’ll see the travel side of things too, plus the practical reality of packing up life and moving around. If you’re an expat, a South African living abroad, or you’re just curious about what “coming home” really feels like after Japan, this one’s for you.
