Anna is a Belgian citizen resident in Cape Town. Starting out as a French and Spanish teacher in Belgium and Swaziland, she moved to Cuba to work for the Flemish Government as a project manager for educational projects. Her work for the Flemish Government then brought her to South Africa.

She suffered terrible injuries in a car accident in 2007 whilst working in South Africa and is now rebuilding her life and trying to discover life’s meaning. Her account of how she recovered from those injuries and came to terms with what is really important in life is both moving and insightful and her readers have both admired her bravery and determination and been given a new perspective on their own lives.
