WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

I started my creative journey back in 2010 with a travel blog; Farmboy & Citygirl Hit Asia (oh the cringe), to document my life and travels in South Korea. I had never heard of this thing called ‘blogging’…my then-boyfriend-now-hubby introduced me to it and the rest they say, is history!

I quickly grew to love blogging and sharing helpful information with people. Once we got back home to South Africa in 2011 after just a year in Korea, I wanted to find a way to continue blogging, but with more of a focus on lifestyle and the pretty things I love.

This is how CityGirlSearching came to life.

CityGirlSearching has covered the past 15 years of my life, from our vintage farm wedding (this CityGirl really did marry a Farmboy), to our second move to South Korea from 2012 - 2016.

The blog documented our travels all over South East Asia, the rescue of our furbaby (Shadow the Jindo) and more recently, my entrepreneurial journey as I took CityGirlSearching the blog, and turned it into CGScreative the business.

Since moving back home to South Africa in 2016, Farmboy and I have moved onto the family dairy farm where he farms alongside his Dad. I am now a stay at home/work from home (and now homeschooling!!!) mommy, trying to balance looking after 3 kids, while still following my passion for blogging, photography & website design. I spend my days sharing snippets of our farm life on Instagram, making Kombucha and yoghurt, ( the washing of cloth nappies has now come to an end as my youngest is just about potty trained…and oh how I miss those chaotic yet simply baby days) and generally soaking up the beauty of the place we now call home. Oh, and we also have an array of furry creatures (cats, dogs, ducks, guineapigs…and not to mention the sheep & cows which surround our home) and keep us all entertained.

Here’s to finding prettyness in the everyday…
