I left America for South Africa thinking I understood the differences.

I was wrong.

In this video, I reflect on how moving abroad has changed how I see America, ans South Africa. I’ll dive into the culture, people, expectations, and the things we assume about each other from a distance.

From Cape Town to back home in the U.S., living in South Africa has challenged my perspective in ways I didn’t expect. The stereotypes, the headlines, the social narratives — they don’t always match reality.

If you’ve ever thought about moving abroad, or starting over in a new country, this is what that shift in perspective actually feels like.
