We have a passion for local travel destinations, explorers and adventure seekers. We find our love for local nomads and travel spots stemming from our route in South Africa as a local brand. Our love for local is not only because we are South African but because we have basked in the beauty of everything Africa offers. Travelling doesn’t have to be a pricey affair, when you can be a tourist in your own country. Adventure awaits on the African Horizon, through the bountiful mountains and in the shores of the coast. There’s no need to board a plane with all these frontiers that lie almost on your door step. What is your favorite local destination?

When it comes to travelling across South Africa, I am definitely a veteran, which I regard as an incredible honour. Although I was born in Namibia, I have lived in the Rainbow Nation my entire life. It is my home, I love it here and I want to see as much as possible. This drive to explore my country makes me reflect on an important matter though.

Many mistakes were made on my part, which is why I am super excited to share a few tips and hacks so that you don’t have to make them.
Every creator has a few local spots that they love more than any other; I am no different. Before I share my top picks with you, allow me to divulge some wisdom – if you can call it that: A location is only as good as your eagerness to be unique and drive to be creative. Regardless of how ordinary or spectacular, you want to get as much out of it as possible, and I say this from both a creative and traveller’s perspective. I definitely urge you not to be limited by location. With the right mentality, anywhere can become magical.
