I’m a South African educator and dreamer set to release a multi-media memoir in November 2025 with 31 original songs.
UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS
"Knock-Knock, anybody home?"
For 20 years, my partner and I have lived apart together in a shared residence, with his bachelor pad upstairs and my retreat downstairs, connected by a staircase that links our spaces while preserving our independence.
No unannounced visits, no dull routines—just passion, freedom, and a love story shaped on our terms.
In Upstairs Downstairs, I share how we have successfully managed a Living Apart Together (LAT) relationship where love, ambition, and independence coexist. But my memoir isn’t just about love—it’s also about passion and daring to dream. Some of my dreams took flight, others fell short, but I didn’t want to leave this world without chasing them. That drive makes me jump out of bed every morning, a trait many aspiring entrepreneurs share.
Through multisensory storytelling with words, lyric readings, music, and videos, I bring to life the emotions behind love, loss, and the pursuit of dreams.
THREE ALBUMS:
1. Upstairs Downstairs
2. Living Apart Together in Love
3. Living Apart Together in Love(2)
My music videos can be found on my YouTube channel, Karina Marais. They offer an intimate soundtrack to the experiences that have shaped me.
