Hello From South Africa

My name is Sasha and I have recently become interested in camping. I live in a small city so there aren't too many camping opportunities nearby, but if I drive a few hundred kilometers out, there is a world of beautiful, mountainous land available to use. I enjoy camping because it takes me away from my otherwise stressful, busy work life. I work online so I am looking at a screen for at least 10 hours every day. When I go camping, I take only my cellphone with, which is turned off 99% of the time.

I enjoy the fresh air, being on my own and having a nice barbecue ( here in South Africa we call it a "braai" ) with some chicken and steak. I am grateful to live in a country where such opportunities exist, I was born in Russia so this wasn't always the case, I moved here for family reasons and even with the falling economy and racism problems South Africa is facing at the moment, I really don't mind it here. You just need to make the most of what the world gives you.

I came here to interact with and contribute my knowledge of camping to a community that shares a similar interest. I hope to have a laugh and learn something new along the way. Thanks for having me here!
