In Tunis, you write your errand list on a scrap of paper: bread, olives, a new sim card for the phone, and maybe some harissa if the price is right. You fold it into your pocket and head out into the cold, past the spice stalls and the tea sellers. A list is a map of the small obligations that keep a life moving.
The red geranium on your windowsill catches the winter sun, its leaves a little dusty from the wind off the medina. You water it with the leftover tea from the morning, watching the drops settle on the soil. A plant that lives on a sill is a quiet companion, a green nod to the day.
The geranium on your windowsill in Tunis is the only green thing you can see from your kitchen. You water it every morning, even though the winter sun is weak. It's a small stubborn thing, like you.
You encounter the iconic African lions, African elephants, and Cape buffalo across South Africa's national parks and reserves. You commonly see pet dogs, cats, and parrots kept as household companions throughout South African homes.
