About me
Hi, my name is Jaun Potgieter. I am born and raised on a farm in South Africa so hard work is something that I am use too. I live very close to the sea so my love for land and sea are at par. I was in a boarding house for most of school career at Grey High School it taught me discipline and independence. After school I did my yacht courses in 2022 where then after I went to the Mediterranean but unfortunately didn't land a position on a boat. In 2023 I worked on the farm to be with my family and now in the new year I have obtained my B1/B2 visa. I would love to travel the world and also spend a lot of time in the Caribbean.
