Hello everyone!
I am considering an EXPAT position in East London, South Africa. It would be from 8 to 12 months long. I have never been anywhere in Africa, so I do not know what I would be getting myself into.
I work for a large company that has an office there. They would house me somewhere nearby the office u would be working at. My main concern is safety. I may stick out being a pale, blonde haired, blue eyed 28 year old female. I don't want to be seen as a tourist that is an easy target and I don't want to have to never leave my apartment! I am originally from Detroit (another "safe" city), but now live in Charlotte, NC.
This EXPAT position would help my career, but I don't want to be scared for my life the entire time I am there!
What does everyone think?
