I remember wearing a massive jacket flying into Durban from an icy cold winter day in Joburg, when I landed I took off my jacket, dropped off my bag and went to swim in the ocean. 😂😂 Durban is the place to be.

Dr Latasha " i forgot im not at home(SA) " ...i really felt it ❤ the love for this country by the Blatons is overwhelming..yall are true South Africans now
This video is right on time. I’ve been planning my move from the UK for the past couple of months and have been stressing out about visas, but this has just inspired me to get up and go… why not? It would be great to know more about the best visas for digital nomads. Thank you for all of the work that you do
Man!!! Two beautiful, intelligent, smart, adorable, open minded, hardworking, etc sisters. I love u guys ❤️ No offence, but seeing black folks together , and especially interacting in the best way on our Motherland ist PURE DOPE
Chelsea welcome back once again, as a Coloured (Mixed) who is 27 years of age...Durban KZN is definitely the place to be..the culture..the people..the friendliest vibes..the language is powerful. A Coloured from KZN who only knows English and isiZulu ...we proud of the isiZulu language as it makes us as one.Send me to Cape Town and Afrikaans will be foreign to all of KZN Coloureds 🤣🤣🤣..we prefer isiZulu and the amapiano music.😎🔥 We even prefer the Zulu people traditional food such as tripe,steam bread.phutu,herbs and cow head👅🤤. DURBAN BEACHES ARE ALWAYS POPPIN..SUMMER TIME ..PARTYING,SWIMMING AND BRAAING ON THE BEACH IS NON STOP ENTERTAINMENT.
Aaaahh man, when people talk about racist coloureds esp in Cpt, I always say we're good with our coloureds this side....❤🤗. Can't believe you guys eat inhloko and tripe 😂😂
This is yet another and inspiring conversation that will inspire other young women of the diaspora to make a decision about how they can live their best lives in Africa. Thank you ladies.
5G infrastructure in South Africa was rolled out in most of our towers much easier with incredible connectivity pairings and fast transmissions. Telkom transitioned to Huawei tech and most infrastructure connectivity and migration from copper to fibre optic networks was rolled out. You pretty much get really great connectivity. Both LTE or FTTH you get the best. The pros about COVID times is the remote working. Firms changed to remote servers and cloud computing that quick. I've only work at the office once this year. It's amazing. I usually advise on having 2 set of internet connectivity interchangeable even with the challenge of loadshedding. LTE and WiFi through fibre. .
What a phenomenal interview. You took your time and let the guest share her personal experience. I didn't know about Durban, now I am curious to visit.
OMG i live in Durban from PE and what she just said is so true Zulu people think everyone is Zulu and expect u to speak the language, i just LOVE my Zulu people they dont compromise.
But it happens everywhere guys, I’m from Cape Town and we assume everyone knows IsiXhosa. Even in Eastern cape same thing once u look black we assume you Xhosa. Free state they also come and speak Sotho assuming you are one of them. So it’s not only Zulu but in all provinces

Baritone voice by any chance? Diamonds and Pearls by Prince favourite song of 1992 by any chance? Spokes and bra Ace by any chance? Billy Gwadela was my favourite classmate of all times, very friendly and always smiling. Never a bully, always had people drawn to him, well mannered towards teachers and peers. Very clean and tidy. Very precise hair cut all the time (like the police haircuts back in the day). I think of my classmates all the time. Right now I am oceans away, and still my cousin and I always talk about “Billy Gwadela” So I thought I should ask you.
This interview was invaluable; because I would absolutely have to work while visiting there. I was concerned about the wifi and time difference, but this sounds doable! Do they have a digital nomad visa? Thank you for covering different concerns/topics regarding how we can make travel possible in your interviews!
I know what she means by having armor or our guards up. The further south in America that I moved, the less that guard was up. It’s a range of people in America. The north are not as friendly as the south.
There needs to more conversations on the cost of housing or building a house. At the end of the day the numbers will determine if it’s possible to move.
Wow Chelsea.... I just love the energy and confidence you have...learn to be culm dear and enjoy life as a whole. Good luck on your journey to us be safe till you come back😍😍😍
I think she's referring to the tarven shootings. That happened in the hardcore ghetto areas, far away from the safe areas that are mentioned in this conversation
So sad hearing how oppressed the black people are in America...we as South Africans had no idea...thank you for the incite...could never live with that type of constant daily tension.
The loadshedding is scheduled and you know what time it is expected,we've got applications for that and you just have to also buy data and modem to switch for that 2 hours.I hope I answered your question 🤝🏾.
A valid concern indeed. There are so many ways around it though and as some have mentioned it is scheduled and you can plan accordingly. I know people who uses solar panels, inverters, generators etc. or even going to restaurants for those 2 or so hours until power comes back. Loadshedding is on its last stages, there has never been a greater urgency to end this thing and I'm convinced that will be achieved soon.
It is funny as Americans we really don't deal with this type of adversity kinda like Covid. South Africans knew what to do and America still don't know what to do. Just like Loadshedding it is scheduled you know and everyday South Africans know what to do during those times. To many work arounds from Solar to battery back up systems to generators when it happens. Generally it is not a everyday concern most of us forget about it until it happens agains months later.
I work remotely as a speech language pathologist in the US and rely exclusively thus far for providing speech therapy to children. Would I have any problems connecting via zoom on a daily basis. Are there power outages and how smoothly does zoom operate there.
@@TRSA Thank you so much for your response. I have visited SA, Namibia and Botswana and several countries in East African. My husband and I want to relocate to the continent by summer 23. Hope to take another look at SA.
For wifi you can get a ups or even an inverter which can keep your TV n lights on for 3 to 4 hours. Power cuts are announced to help u plan. There are however plans to address this from the gov
Thank you for another fantastic video ... Your channel and content is addictive ... With all due respect ... But crack ain't got nothing on the Real South Africa 😁😎
This is great to know that she is a able to work remotely. My question is (because I am also a remote employee) am I able to work for a U.S. company while living in Africa? I will Google as well, this was an impromptu question while watching this video.
It's so good to just sit and listen to both of you ladies talk about your experiences in South Africa. It shocked me when you mentioned how long the bread last. I am curious if I was to book through The Real South Africa does that include travel and how much are the deposits on average? Not sure if I'm visiting South Africa or Nigeria 1st, yet both are on my list!
In KZN Zulus don’t play around, if you’re black and look South African then you’re definitely Zulu. If you don’t know how to speak Zulu, you should be ashamed of yourself. It is what it is. 😂😂😂😂
I don't think this is true. I know a lot of Tswana's, Sothos, who live, study and work in Durban, and also when I was student in UKZN never had expectations likes this you mentioned. I am Xhosa by the way.
@@mkdempisi There’s a difference between students and people in Rural KZN. The people I am talking about are old as well. I said it in a lighthearted manner as well. Shouldn’t take it too seriously.
I like Max's lifestyle, not sure what it is, but I guess is it a house converted into club or somthing, my problem is that it is situated in one of the most notorious townships. I will have to be high on something to go there.
In Durban, we have four seasons; SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER, and SUMMER. Welcome back Chelsea and you're welcome all the time.
And periods of rain........
😍 Matches my one season wardrobe❣️
@@sizla8837 Not in the winters. It's always crystal blue skies. However, in summer, rain rain rain🥵

@@clantis I love the rain.
I’m coming in November booked with The Real South Africa can’t come fast enough 😊
See you soon Michelle
So wish this inspires more Americans to come home. This is beautiful...TRSA hits a home run again 🙌👏👏👏
Im only one person, but TRSA has certainly inspired me to come to visit and then eventually move there.

It is now Gqeberha.
Wow she’s a digital nomad 🔥
Living the dream here in South Africa nomadically

welcome home Chelsea ❤
Thank you, Nola!
I remember Chelsea from her last visit. Remote work... interesting! especially if you're earning dollars/pounds/euros whilst residing here.
Wonderful interview. Looking forward to booking a trip.
Come on over the water is fine
Brilliant, many thanks once again

Thanks!
Welcome sis, have a fantastic time in SA.
Dr, convey my greetings to Mr Blanton, the Professor
Thank you!
great interview
Thanks appreciate the compliments
The interview part is only playing in the right ear.
Can you please ask all your guests what was their culture shock they experienced in SA, very interested to hear their responses.
I think they all say it in different ways sometimes you can hear it in their voices
Welcom back sis🌷
Thank you for welcoming me!
Thank you for that video, it was really needed
Interesting keep up the good work
In light of what happened in SA im praying you guys are ok
What happened?
@@kennedytsokodibane3058 I’m curious to know coz thrs a lot goin on lol
I think she's referring to the tarven shootings. That happened in the hardcore ghetto areas, far away from the safe areas that are mentioned in this conversation
Why wouldn't she be?
I was curious, is she able to stay longer then the 3 month visa?
Well the visa is free you get it when you arrive and then you can apply to extend it while you are here for 3 more months as a visitor
No and yes, Yes if she extends the visa but otherwise yes.
👌👌👌
So sad hearing how oppressed the black people are in America...we as South Africans had no idea...thank you for the incite...could never live with that type of constant daily tension.
Speak Dr. Blanton!!! It is a trauma.
What about load shedding? That's my biggest concern about remote work there.
The loadshedding is scheduled and you know what time it is expected,we've got applications for that and you just have to also buy data and modem to switch for that 2 hours.I hope I answered your question 🤝🏾.
You can use solar and don't worry loadshedding will end soon we as south africans are discussing this in in our small corners
A valid concern indeed. There are so many ways around it though and as some have mentioned it is scheduled and you can plan accordingly. I know people who uses solar panels, inverters, generators etc. or even going to restaurants for those 2 or so hours until power comes back.

No problems at all. We have a thing called loadshedding from time to time and it is very predictable so your work flows will work
