Besides a nice host family, where I felt really welcome, I worked a lot around the community. It was easy for me to get a connection to the people and a lot of them are still in my heart. It’s great to be a coach in stellenbosch because this place is really open for new experiences and activities, especially the kids love the sport. You are always welcome to join the school in other projects or even create some. You get to known other sports and a lot of people who appreciate to learn about handball. Stay open minded and bring a lot of ideas, then Stellenbosch is the right place for you. I really miss it.
