Getting Your Feet on the Ground
http://www.lucindatikwart.com
Lucinda Tikwart is a South African-born writer based in San Francisco, California.
What started out as note-taking, and a fun way to keep in touch with friends during an extended champagne backpacking trip with her new husband across the ricepaddies, deserted beaches and eclectic cities of Asia, turned into a fully-fledged blog. After much support and urging from her readers, she continued posting her thoughts and revelations on her return home.
Read along as she traces her life across the globe, facing the extraordinary changes of uprooting her life for a new one. No matter how controversial or out-of-the-cardboard-box, they are always through the lens of a curious, and loving first-generation greencard-winner.
In her published award-winning work, she tells the story of lessons travel to corners of the globe teach us about ourselves. And of what you can eat once you get there. Ok, mostly, it’s just about the food.

Into the jaws of the lion: Tim Cahill, face-to-face…
Tim Cahill is not a scary man. In fact, he reminds me of an uncle trying to melt into the armchaired wallpaper during a messy family reunion. Tim does not like applause. Nor does he willingly grab microphones. This is all quite off-putting when yo...
Puppy love
I teased you last time about puppies and haven’t had the chance to fill you in as our breeder, much like my baby in our latest ultrasound, is simply not co-operating. But yes, we are getting a puppy…AND a baby. Within the same 12 months....
Bump! in the night
I don’t want to start going into the pits and valleys of being a mom-to-be. There are a white page directory of those flying around the internet. Blogging about one’s kids or bellies is a worldwide obsession. It makes my head spin faster...
Chicks Going At It
