Она уехала из Нью-Йорка в Кейптаун в поисках покоя, но свидания в Южной Африке стали для нее АДОМ

What happens when you leave New York City behind and move across the world to build a new life in Cape Town? In this episode, April Jackson sits down with Carol Burns—entrepreneur, experiential strategist, event producer, and community builder—to talk about taking the biggest leap of her life: leaving New York, selling her belongings, and starting over in South Africa. Carol shares the real story behind her move, from discovering South Africa through Amapiano and falling in love with Cape Town, to navigating loneliness, culture shock, business challenges, friendship breakups, healing, and the reality of dating abroad. She also opens up about raising her younger sister as her guardian, surviving burnout during COVID, going to therapy, and learning to accept help after years of hyper-independence. This is not a fantasy about moving abroad. It is an honest conversation about what it really means to choose a different life—and everything you may lose, gain, and discover along the way.
