Welcome to the story of Sami – entrepreneur, blêrie influencer and social media content creator. Throughout her time on Earth she has constantly asked herself what she believes to be the most important question in her life: ‘Why do these things always happen to me?’

From almost manslaughtering her teacher’s unborn baby, shattering her dad’s dream of an athlete spawn and almost being murdered by a goose, she certainly has some stories to tell.

In The Memoirs of a Clumsy Potato Sami Hall takes you through some of the life events – tough and challenging events – that changed her forever and shaped her into the weird, clumsy, constantly tired potato that we know and love. The road hasn’t always been easy and there have been several obstacles along the way, but as Sami herself would tell you, it was all part of the journey and that her story is far from finished.

Enjoy the funny, sad, weird and outlandish stories of Sami’s life and take a glimpse into her mind while we explore the million things that cause her to break into lengthy and passionate rants – loadshedding, potholes, and cell signal to name a few, and also get some answers to the internet’s most burning questions.

Ondanks sy juweel van 'n Afrikaanse naam verkeer Fanie van der Merwe reeds vir twee dekades in selfopgelegde ballingskap. Danksy sy nering as geskiedenisonderwyser aan internasionale skole kry hy klokslag geleentheid om internasionaal te reis, wat hy met oorgawe doen. In die proses het hy reeds meer as vyftig lande besoek. In 2017 skep Fanie sy "Fanie Os Oppie Jas"-blad op Facebook - 'n hoekie in die kuberruim waar hy dagboek van sy reise hou, en vandag volg meer as 11,000 intekenare sy avonture. Met "Die reisstories van 'n nomadiese geskiedenisonderwyser" neem Fanie die leser op 'n warrelwindreis na ses lande wat nie gereeld op die gemiddelde reisiger se radar verskyn nie - Noord-Korea, Mianmar, Kambodja, Tibet, Belgie, en die uithoeke van die VSA. Danksy 'n kombinasie van pittige anekdotes in die suiwerste Afrikaans, asemrowende foto's en lighartige, dog boeiende geskiedenisverwante vertelllings, beloof die boek om 'n reisbundel te wees soos wat nog selde in Afrikaans gesien is. Die geskiedkundige feite sal verbluf, die foto's sal betower, maar dis Fanie se unieke, tong-in-die-kies-waarnemings wat selfs die mees huisvaste Jan Tuisblyer sal laat jeuk vir 'n internasionale reis.
