To celebrate surviving my first semester in graduate school in Florida I decide to go on a solo trip. Well, it was not supposed to be a solo trip but became one due to clashing schedules etc. I had never been on a solo trip and had read mixed reviews about Mexico but decided to […]

A few weeks ago, I was afforded the incredible opportunity to partake in a work training programme that necessitated me to spend five days in Dubai. Despite it being a work trip, my innate adventurous spirit was adamant to make the very best of being in the land of the Arabs, which I believe I […]

The #SAfricansTravelToo crew recently got an opportunity to travel to the Basotho Kingdom, Lesotho and all I could think of leading up to the trip were beautiful mountains, horse riding and the Maletsunyane Falls, which I've always wanted to see.   Getting to Lesotho was fairly easy, if you don't mind a whole lot of […]

However, in a country such as South Africa, a country with high inequality, high poverty rates and a society that largely […]

The first time I went to Mozambique was in April 2009 and I'd gone with a group of friends traveling to Xai-Xai. I think there were 6 or 7 of us and that drive felt like the longest drive of my life. Even though we were smart enough to hire a driver for the trip, after […]
