Andrea Zanin
Hello! My name is Andrea. I am a writer, wife, mother and dreamer; also the author of OurFiresideStories.com. I moved to London in 2006 to earn £s, travel, see bands and buy 24-up Dr Martens—which I did, and then ended up staying. I live in North London with my husband (also a Saffa) and five children. I love this grand old city but miss my home (at least, the version that exists in my head) and wish my children could say “lekker” (like a South African—they do try. Oh, and I love to tell stories. Over and over…and over.
