Hopefully everyone isn't annoyed by post similar to this...
I am a 23 year old aspiring wildlife filmmaker wanting to move to South Africa. I attended the Wildlife Film Academy (based out of Cape Town) earlier this year, and fell in love with the country. I would love to live in Cape Town, and hopefully get work that would take me into the some of the national and private game parks. I made a lot of connections in the city, and feel that I would have a pretty easy time finding film work, but it would be entry level and not pay much.
My concerns are this:
Since I would start off doing entry level/intern type work, I would need to find a part time job in the city. I have retail and food service experience. Is it feasible for me to find a job such as this?
I am hoping to make the move in approximately 1 year and am hoping to have around $5,000 USD to start with. Would this be enough to get on my feet?
Any guess as to what the cost of living would be for a 23 year old single male in Cape Town?
Any advice or tips is much appreciated.
Thanks.
