    HAVE you experienced a diffi­culty that moves you to reach out to others who are struggling in the same way? You feel a certain connection because you’ve been there.

    WE learn from our mistakes. We also seek to learn from the mistakes of other people. In chance conversations with dialysis patients and their companions, I asked why their kidneys stopped functioning.

    I WAS charged the equivalent of R12,000 for excess bag­gage 12 years ago – despite the fact that I was forced to leave some items which were not ex­tremely necessary. I told myself it would never happen again. The thing with being a first-time traveler, you are excited to bring as much stuff […]
