Hi --
I'm a senior at Wellesley College in Boston, and I am in the process of applying for a fellowship that would allow me to travel for a year to hang out with American expatriates in eight different countries (Ecuador, Mexico, South Africa, Kenya, Germany, India, China and Japan). I'm looking to get a sense of what brought you to South Africa, how you found the transition between the U.S. and South Africa, and what has kept you in South Africa. I plan on compiling a book that collects the diverse experiences of the American expatriates I meet, but for now I am simply looking for preliminary contacts to show the fellowship review committee that if I receive the funding I have a diverse array of expats to spend time with.
If you might be willing to be listed as one of my contacts, or if you just want to know more about my project, you can contact me at gbrennanATgmail.com.
Thanks!
