Het jy geweet dat daar ‘n unieke, prentjiemooi feëtjiehotel in Australië is? Dis ‘n plek waar jy op die hande gedra word terwyl jy jou telkens moet knyp om seker te maak dat jy nie dalk in droomland is nie. Dis nie goedkoop nie, maar ‘n heerlike bederf as jy dit kan doen.

Afrikaners se herkoms kan relatief maklik gevolg word omdat daar goed boekgehou was van nuwe aankomelinge en wat daarna van hulle geword het. Lees ‘n bietjie oor gene wat jy moontlik in jou saamdra of dalk gelukkig vrygespring het.
Ek het onlangs die reeks Donkerland op ShowMax ontdek. Ek moet bieg, die naam het my nie juis aangetrek nie want ek was bang vir ‘n ewige gewroeg, maar ek was aangenaam verras. Dis die storie oor die lewensloop van sewe geslagte uit dieselfde familie oor ‘n tydperk van 158 jaar, met die mooiste natuurskoon in die agtergrond.

Met Kersfees om die draai is dit tyd om die oondhandskoene uit te haal. Hoekom probeer jy nie die heerlike broskoekresep wat in hierdie uitgawe verskyn nie? As dit een van koningin Elizabeth se gunstelinge is, kan dit mos nie beter nie!
Merise wens graag vir jou en jou gesin ‘n geseënde Kerstyd toe. Mag julle ‘n besonderse tyd ervaar en die nuwe jaar net die mooiste bring vir jou en almal vir wie jy lief is.

Merise Afrikaans Magazine Description:

Merise is a digital family magazine and was started in 2011 to inform, encourage and assist each other as we together face the challenges of settling and integrating into our new community. We talk openly about the different aspects of our lives that take strain through the migration process – from helping our kids to adjust to their new schools to leaving parents behind in another country and changes in the dynamics of our personal relationships.
We provide valuable information about financial and visa matters, inviting specialists to write articles about topics which would be beneficial to our readers. Merise writes about the beauty of our new country by featuring different geographical areas in Australia and New Zealand, thereby giving would-be migrants or readers who are planning holidays or moving interstate a better understanding about what to expect in their new place of residence.
Merise is a new friend to you and your whole family.
The ascending aircraft is symbolic of her desire to reach for the stars. Even her name is symbolic. By dividing the word in two, you get “me rise”, accentuating her desire to make improvements to herself and her life.
It is important for Merise to support her friends, not just newcomers, but all expats in Australia and New Zealand who left their homeland to find new means of livelihood “Down Under”.
Merise lends a hand in almost every way. She’s been through the immigration process and experienced it all first hand. She is thoroughly aware of difficulties that may arise for both newcomers and experienced expats and knows how to overcome, or should we say “survive”, these difficulties.
Merise is vivacious and enthusiastic and lives her life in her new country to the full. She loves exploring and is always on the lookout for new challenges and new experiences. At the same time she enjoys sharing her experiences with her friends, always encouraging and inspiring them.
Merise is fully bilingual and she has English- as well as Afrikaans-speaking friends. She divides her time equally between the two groups of friends and shares the same information with both groups.
You will have to go quite far to find a friend as special as Merise . . .
