In this episode of Home, Again, Christopher speaks with Mitchell about moving from Cape Town to Norwich, and what happens when a new country makes you more aware of where you come from.

Mitchell shares the pull that led him to leave South Africa, the ache of leaving close friends behind, and the unexpected details that made home feel far away, from familiar foods to summer Christmases. He also talks about safety, identity, culture shock, finding community, and why moving abroad can make your roots feel clearer rather than weaker.

The South African Export is a warm and honest conversation about belonging, distance, self-kindness, and the parts of home we carry with us.
