Moving to Cape Town, South Africa
Big News, huge life announcement!
We officially can now announce that we are moving to Cape Town, South Africa in mid-October!
Maxwell lived in Cape Town in 2013 and when Leeann visited in December 2013, love bloomed in that beautiful place.
Since coming back to the United States, we have been talking about moving as a married couple for years. We are lucky with the cards we have been dealt and are able to finally go.
This blog/website will now be focused on our journey to and experience in Cape Town. Additionally, Cape Town is a perfect jumping off point to the rest of the world.
In our vows, we spoke of our desire to search for a meaningful existence. We believe that this move is the right move and we will begin to find that.
So come along on our journey and watch as we succeed, fail, learn, and love all the way.
-Max & Leeann

Cape Town, South Africa – The Passport Pair
November 4, 2016 at 9:53 am[…] If there is anything I took away from this beautiful city in 2013, its that of hope. Like many places, maybe more than some, Cape Town is not without its issues. Much of the population lives on a dollar a day, and within the small city limits you’ll find the highest income inequality. The resounding sense of hope that I see transcending that, however, is what has brought us back. I learned about myself in this city. I’m hoping that both Leeann and I will continue to learn, to grow, and to continue down the path towards a meaningful existence that we promised to each other in our weddi… […]
