@maurizioisendoorn I love Cape Town. Also stayed here last years for 6 weeks. Beautiful place on earth and nice people!

I’m from NYC, so depends where, Europe is too slow for me for the most part, I don’t have the same dedicated pushing feeling and strong motivation there as I do at home.

Brandon Maddick · Answer

I've always wanted to, but a family makes it much trickier!

Marvin Mändle · Answer

@shawn_olds1 was there last year and choose the hike through botanical garden, unfortunately it was so cloudy on table mountain that I couldn't see anything.. Will try it again by Skulls Gorge route, thanks for the recommendation.

I do life here as well. Really like Cape Town, really enjoy this environment!

Marvin Mändle · Answer

@zignis you will handle the homesickness when you are on a nice place with nice people.

Answer

I like this kind of life, I am a risk-taker. However it is so challenging to get a work visa.

Coro · Answer

I've never had the opportunity, but I'd love to relocate aboard. The only reason that haunts me is homesickness.

Maurizio Isendoorn · Answer

@marvin_maendle @oksana_borukh  Great to hear. I'll look into it!

Maurizio Isendoorn · Answer

Wow that's so cool! Do you like Cape Town from what you've seen up till now? I'm also thinking about going there some time!

Shawn Olds · Answer

Hike Table Mountain, use the Skulls Gorge route!  Working abroad is great, but living abroad while working is even better.  When simply working there, unless you are purposeful you can miss so much about your environment.
