Why I know Cape Town so well?

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

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.

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

Here we are, at Christmas festivities in 2006.

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

What qualifies me to tell you more about Cape Town?

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!!

Speaking of the website ...

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 a 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 to good to be true, so it probably is."

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

If you ever have the urge to start your own site, be sure to look at Ken Evoy's site Site Build It.

Good luck!
