About Me - Why I know Cape Town so well?

About me - My name is Danny Jacobs and I was born and bred in this most beautiful of cities, Cape Town.

My biggest supporter, Liezel

After school I did my compulsory military training, based in Cape Town.

Thereafter I studied teaching, majoring in Geography, followed by five years as a primary school teacher.

At present I'm a full time consultant for a big life insurance company and a part time web site builder.

My home language is Afrikaans, a language I'm very proud of.
I have however decided to keep this site English to share this wonderful city with so many more people.
I will however also be adding titbits of Afrikaans now and then, but please do not not feel left out, as I will only be highlighting something I have already said.

The Team

I'm happily married to Liezel, a primary school teacher and have two beautiful sons, Daniël and Nico.

We are a family who really enjoy the outdoors and Cape Town is a great place to live an outdoor type lifestyle.

Our trusty old steed!

Everyone in our team has a different portfolio:

Me - Content builder, photographer, tea boy and jack-of-all-trades.

Liezel - Photo editor, moral supporter, cook and trip planner.

Daniël - General assistant and assistant photographer.

Nico - General assistant and joker.

What qualifies me to tell you more about Cape Town?

Firstly, I have lived and enjoyed this city for approximately 36 years. I do believe that this qualifies me as an experienced Capetonian.

As a family who makes a habit of enjoying what this city has to offer, it gives me a real insight into what children enjoy and where to stay clear from.

I want you to have a great experience in my city and I want to make sure that this site is the start of this positive experience.

Enjoy!!


SBI! Case Studies


Speaking of the website ...

Building this website is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever experienced.

It is great to see your ideas finding a place on the site. An even better feeling is to know that until a few months ago, I did not have the faintest clue on how to even start the building of a site.

I stumbled on a site called Site Build It by chance.

And being an extremely cautious person by nature, I visited many times over a long period of time.

Every time I left the site, I thought to myself "this sounds too good to be true, so it probably is."

Eventually I signed up and it has been an extremely positive experience for me from the beginning.

So if you ever have the urge to start your own site, be sure to look at Ken Evoy's site Site Build It.
He talks you through a process called the "C-T-P-M process" and if you stick to this process (and work hard and long hours!!) you WILL be succesful.

Dare to live your own life like I am doing at present!!

Site Build It!
