I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa which is in the Gauteng Province, but only lived there for a short while. It is the largest city in the country. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannesburg)

Then my family loved to Durban which is the 3rd largest city in the country. It is located in the Province of Kwa-Zulu Natal. My dad, stepmom, brothers and sister still live there. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durban)

Next we lived in Kokstad, which is more inland but still in Kwa-Zulu Natal. I lived here for 7 years from grade one to half way through grade 7. Kokstad is a pretty small town, but it was great to grow up living on a farm, riding horses and being able to just be a kid. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokstad,_KwaZulu-Natal)

Just before I started High School we moved to Margate (where my mom, stepdad and sister currently live.) Margate is a lovely town to live in and I really enjoying spending my High School years in the sunny coastal town. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margate,_South_Africa)
