Any advice/tips on moving from the USA (San Diego, CA) to South Africa or another nearby country?

Question

I have worked really hard to get where I am today. A few years ago I was $14,000 dollars in debt. Today I am out of debt with a stable, good paying job. I was 55 pounds heavier. I have just turned 25 and I'm in the prime of my life. I have always wanted to travel to wild, exotic places and experience new cultures and meet new people. This is my life's dream!

I'm thinking about moving to South Africa and want to know what types of outdoor sports there are-rock climbing? Hiking? Camping? What types of activities should I physically prepare myself for?

I also want to know which are the best cities for tourists (aka newbies)? I've never been out of the country (excluding Mexico) but feel this is my lifes calling.

It may also be helpful to know that I am half African-American, and half Canadian French; with an unfinished BA-may finish by the time I go; from a middle class family.

Any tips from anyone who has been to/lived in/lives in South Africa would be helpful! THANK YOU!!

Answer 1

First, this is posted in the wrong place- Post in the tourism South Africa area and get the real scoop.

Why not go to school while you are there? Apply for a student visa, and to a school- and learn while you enjoy SA.

Or apply to get a p/t job (with approprate visa) Have to say that since this is the immigration section.

Enjoy you life!
