    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I've grown up in South Africa and moved to Australia 20 years ago.
    Starting over in a new country has a lot of challenges and as a worker in the mines can give insight to a lot of learnings in the different cultures and work experience's.
    We can have great discussions around moving to a new country and working with cultural diversity and trying to understand different perceptions.
    I love talking about other cultures and always enjoy a yarn over a drink or two.
