New Opportunities – Coffee Bay Is Calling Me Back


Money money money, what a damn mission, I have been struggling to get on my feet financially after all the drama with the break up so I had took on a few odd jobs to fatten up my bank balance, One was in a pub in Stellenbosch, well more of a club vibe lots of drunk young ones – it was fun for a little while and the money was ok but the hours were killing me slowly. 

At the same time as the pub job I was going to every outdoor trance party in Cape Town moving mushrooms which proved to be quite profitable but dangerous law wise and I really do not want any offences on my name right now.

There was a point in last month where I didn’t know what the fuck or where the fuck my life was going. It all seems to start and end with money and a decent cash flow like it always does I suppose.  I don’t really have a proper education so I can’t really get a decent job in any worthwhile field.

After finishing school I went to study sound engineering but never found work in that sector. In-between I was always working for my dad who owns a few businesses from construction to pubs and grubs.

There was a point in my life where I worked in coffee bay for about 4 months and really enjoyed it – the money was horrible but the relaxed hippie/gypsy type vibe of the place always stuck in my mind. This is where the opportunity comes in. 

My old man secured a contract in coffee bay on the wild coast and asked if I would like to manage one of the teams up there. So I am facing a situation here where I can work for family again??? I thought about it hard and long – the money he was offering me was too good to pass up and I would be in coffee bay for 10 months!

You guessed it I am blogging today from coffee bay J I have been here for one month already and I am really enjoying it. This move has taken me so far away from Cape Town. It gives me a chance to leave it all behind, get away from the friend circles that Michelle and I had made together. I get to start a new and fresh. I get to focus on me.

It’s so simple out here so rural so primal……………..
