Bio
My name is Marrit van der Schaar. In 2013 I moved to Johannesburg from Amsterdam together with my boyfriend. We stayed for 3,5 years and had lots of adventures and even got a baby girl! Now we are back in the Netherlands, missing South Africa every day but happy to be able to work. That was the reason why we went back, I couldn't get a job.
This blog started from this point of view:
Back in the Netherlands I was working in the social housing and urban planning sector and I am hoping to find a job in the same sector again. There are many developments and housing issues in Joburg and I find them fascinating. As a newby I am still learning about the city and its diversity. Many neighbourhoods are constant on the move, either 'on the up' or declining.
In this blog I am going to write about the changing neighbourhoods, finding gems in the city and getting more acquainted with the city and its perks.
Enjoy!
