Witnessing South Africa winning their 4th World Cup

In recent years, my dream was to move to Europe to explore new cultures and cuisines. Now that I'm in the Netherlands, I can easily visit nearby countries.

I had an exciting adventure when I spent a weekend in Paris to watch the RWC final. Right after South Africa's nail-biting victory over England, my friend and I hurried to buy tickets for the final. We got a great deal, booked bus tickets, and traveled to France the next weekend.

It's still hard to believe that I could make such a spontaneous trip to Paris and witness South Africa winning their 4th World Cup. This memory will stay with me for years to come. I also appreciate the warm welcome from my new colleagues; they've made me feel at home. A big thanks to Ir Olav for being so awesome and making this possible!
